Hi,

Re:

These files are created & allegedly removed by the pam_foreground module which
on Ubuntu is by default configured into the file /etc/pam.d/common-session file.
The file describes itself as session-related modules common to all services.

On one of our Ubuntu Dapper installs it is included by the pam config
files for the following:

atd
chfn
chsh
cron
cupsys
kcheckpass
kdm
kdm-np
login
other
ppp
samba
ssh
su

So anytime a "session" involving one of the above is started by root while on
the console, you would expect to see the file /var/run/console/root:1 exist.

Check the info to be found in /usr/share/doc/libpam-foreground/README.Debian .
This only mentions logging in but all the abovementioned, pam-supervised things
will probably cause the same thing to happen.
