What do you mean? |
| 17 |
ConsoleKit is used mainly to recognize if you are a local user or not. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
If you don't have ConsoleKit OR systemd-logind, then nothing will |
| 20 |
recognize you are a local user and anything using PolicyKit like for |
| 21 |
example, networkmanager or your desktop's shutdown/restart |
| 22 |
functionality, or automounting by file manager, won't succeed without |
| 23 |
root password because then nothing is telling PolicyKit the user is |
| 24 |
local and fallback to root is applied. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
For example, if you don't have sys-auth/consolekit installed then |
| 27 |
xfce-base/xfce4-session will fallback to using `sudo` for authorization |
| 28 |
on shutdown/reboot |
| 29 |
But some functionality have no fallback like this at all, so if aiming |
| 30 |
for systemd-less and ConsoleKit-less system, you have to know what is |
| 31 |
what... |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I hope that clarifies instead of complicates :P |
