Fair enough... it certainly looks complicated, though I've not taken a close look at the documentation yet. Here's a tip for when you do look at it, which may save you some time and frustration. The package includes a pam module which grants local users a 'desktop-console' privilege - this module only considers X sessions to be local, i.e TTY matches :0 or :0.0 formats. Without patching it, running from the console (i.e tty1 and friends) will not have any permissions as a local user. Note too that despite the overlap in functionality, this module (pam_polkit_console) has nothing to do with pam_console, and doesn't seem to require it to be present. Simon.
