Package: consolekit Version: 0.3.0-4 Severity: important Tags: patch
Hi, consolekit is creating tagfiles in /var/run/console on login. This tagfiles are used by dbus to check if a user is logged in locally and should be able to send some messages (for example to mount a removable device). In Debian Edu we also use the at_console check to send messages about new devices to locally logged in users only (to prevent LTSP users from being notified about devices plugged into the terminal server). In Etch we used libpam-foreground, but switched to consolekit for Lenny. Back in the Etch times libpam-foreground did not differentiate between local and remote users (see bug #431730) and consolekit does now the same. I would like to ask to extend pam-foreground-compat.ck for a check which prevents tagfile creation for remote users. See attached patch for a possible modification.
