Semi-long answer |

|
| 17 |
Yes, if you have /etc/init.d/consolekit in your default runlevel, and |
| 18 |
sys-auth/consolekit built with USE="pam" |
| 19 |
and sys-auth/pambase built with USE="consolekit", you get a PAM module |
| 20 |
called pam_ck_connector.so |
| 21 |
So, when you login to text console, pam_ck_connector.so kicks in and |
| 22 |
will tell PolicyKit you are a local user, |
| 23 |
it will show up in `ck-list-sessions` command as "active = TRUE" -line |
| 24 |
Then, when you run gvfs-mount from text console, it will query PolicyKit |
| 25 |
if you are allowed or not, and |
| 26 |
you are, since pam_ck_connector.so has done the job |
| 27 |

Yes, everything related works from command line outside of X as well |
