[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#547347: consolekit: Creates TAGFILES in /var/run/console for ssh connections

[Daniel Hess]

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.

TIA and kind regards,

Daniel
