Comment 121 for bug 360818

You know, I cannot understand why anyone says that the patch produced in comment #3 works for folks. The syntax is totally wrong - it's at_console="true", not user="at_console".

I looked up what at_console does, and as it turns out at_console was originally created to use RedHat's pam_console... which of course is specific to RedHat. Ubuntu gets around this by using libpam-foreground, and from the following bug report at Debian http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=422349 I believe that there's been a patch done to dbus to get this working.

I guess my next question is: if you aren't using at_console (or pam_console, or pam_forground), then how does ConsoleKit do this?
