Failure to do so may be a huge SECURITY HOLE. Optional User Notes: Install ConsoleKit by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \ --localstatedir=/var --libexecdir=/usr/lib/ConsoleKit \ --enable-pam-module && make This package does not come with a test suite. Now, as the root user: make install --enable-pam-module: This switch enables ConsoleKit to use Linux-PAM authentication. Remove this option if Linux-PAM is NOT installed. --enable-docbook-docs: Use this parameter if xmlto is installed and you wish to build the API documentation. /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ConsoleKit.conf /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ConsoleKit.conf If you use PAM you need to configure PAM to activate ConsoleKit upon user login. This can be achieved by editing the /etc/pam.d/system-session file as the root user: cat >> /etc/pam.d/system-session << "EOF" # Begin ConsoleKit addition session optional pam_loginuid.so session optional pam_ck_connector.so nox11 # End ConsoleKit addition EOF See /usr/share/doc/ConsoleKit/spec/ConsoleKit.html for more configuration.
