           Summary: Several services do not work properly for the console
                    user
           Product: Skolelinux
           Version: etch-rc1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: System distrubution
        AssignedTo: debian-edu@lists.debian.org
        ReportedBy: pere@hungry.com


To get a scalable system for granting access to local devices to the console
user, we recently start using pam_group and pam_foreground to grand and
check access privileges.  For systems using dbus, this mean their access
control files need to use the at_console check instead of group membership
checks.  Several packages in Debian/Etch do not do this.  hal is correct,
but network-manager, knetwork-manager and avahi-daemon is not.  Not sure about
the rest.

I've reported the former two to BTS as <URL: http://bugs.debian.org/426462 >
and <URL: http://bugs.debian.org/426467 >, but have not checked out
avahi-daemon yet.

Fixing this in debian mean making our own (perhaps backported) packages
for all the packages with incorrect access lists.
