That may well be correct, but I have no idea how to use hal/consolekit. I suspect few Fedora users do. Try polling your question on fedoraforum, and see what those results tell you. I recently posted a question there about configuring alsa permissions for mpd and the answer I got there was pam_console. Mind you, I am ready and willing to learn the brave new hal/consolekit way of things. I looked for docs and examples for hal/consolekit, and found nothing relevant to my use case. Bottom line: before you blow away pam_console, please spend some time doing education (e.g., documenting) and outreach (e.g., responding on fedoraforum) about the new proper way of doing things that accommodates 80% of the existing use cases. If you want to be thorough about it, consider the software (like mpd) in a few prominent third-party repos, too. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
