PolicyKit and ConsoleKit are indeed the future. They allow D-Bus to
ask can I do this without having to deal with policy specific
implementations such as pam-console and pam-foreground.
I'm not sure when this is going to happen though but perhaps the
utopia
people do.
I see there's a ConsoleKit in experimental already.
Now that hal 0.5.10 is in unstable, is there some progress on this?
Consolekit seems to be in unstable too, will installing this solve
everything?
Currently missing is policykit-gnome, which is in NEW atm. It's also
targetted at experimental. As soon as this package has been accepted, I
plan to upload a ConsoleKit/PolicyKit enabled hal to experimental.
But keep in mind, that dbus still requires some coarse grained access
rules (currently group based). When, if and how dbus will get PolicyKit
support i don't know.
Cheers,
Michael
