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.
Only for X, huh? That's unfortunate.
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.
Right. I think the idea is to not use pam_console at all anymore. This pam module is supposed to be generic enough that any of the distros will use it. But I don't think anyone's really using PolicyKit yet. You can still use HAL without it as I understand. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
