I strongly suggest you read over the system documentation on how pam_console works and the associated configuration files in an effort to understand how things are configured by default. My limited understanding of the default situations is that remote xdmcp connections are not considered 'console'. But don't take my word for it, i haven't gotten around to testing xdmcp during fc3 testing yet. If you are concerned I encourage you to test the remote xdmcp connection case and make sure the defaults are not configured to set the xdmcp user as console owner. Here's a hint the files in /var/run/console/ are particularly useful to watch, to figure out who is the current 'console' user. -jef
