%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ ConsoleKit The ConsoleKit package is a framework for keeping track of the various users, sessions, and seats present on a system. It provides a mechanism for software to react to changes of any of these items or of any of the metadata associated with them. &lfs71_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &consolekit-md5sum; Download size: &consolekit-size; Estimated disk space required: &consolekit-buildsize; Estimated build time: &consolekit-time; ConsoleKit Dependencies Required and Recommended and If you intend NOT to install polkit, you will need to manually edit the ConsoleKit.conf file to lock down the service. 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-udev-acl \ --enable-pam-module && make This package does not come with a test suite. Now, as the root user: make install --enable-udev-acl: This switch enables building of the udev-acl tool which is used to allow normal users to access device nodes which can be accessed by root user only. --enable-pam-module: This switch enables building of the ConsoleKit PAM module which is needed for ConsoleKit to work correctly. Remove if Linux PAM is NOT installed. --enable-docbook-docs: Use this parameter if xmlto is installed and you wish to build the API documentation. If you use Linux PAM you need to configure Linux 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 You will also need a helper script that will create a file in /var/run/console named as username that is logged in that contains D-Bus address of the session. Create such script by running the following commands as the root user: cat > /usr/lib/ConsoleKit/run-session.d/pam-foreground-compat.ck << "EOF" #!/bin/sh TAGDIR=/var/run/console [ -n "$CK_SESSION_USER_UID" ] || exit 1 [ "$CK_SESSION_IS_LOCAL" = "true" ] || exit 0 TAGFILE="$TAGDIR/`getent passwd $CK_SESSION_USER_UID | cut -f 1 -d:`" if [ "$1" = "session_added" ]; then mkdir -p "$TAGDIR" echo "$CK_SESSION_ID" >> "$TAGFILE" fi if [ "$1" = "session_removed" ] && [ -e "$TAGFILE" ]; then sed -i "\%^$CK_SESSION_ID\$%d" "$TAGFILE" [ -s "$TAGFILE" ] || rm -f "$TAGFILE" fi EOF chmod 0755 /usr/lib/ConsoleKit/run-session.d/pam-foreground-compat.ck See /usr/share/doc/ConsoleKit/spec/ConsoleKit.html for more configuration.
