Needs cleanup of temp Release and %changelog entry.
Forgot to mention.. test packages here... http://people.freedesktop.org/~david/openssh-ck/ Could he send it to upstream bugzilla for review first? https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/ Thank you. Tomas, will we have this in openssh before F9? This is desperately needed for LTSP desktop sessions. I'm sorry but I don't like to include this without it being acceptable to upstream at all. What's missing in pam_ck_connector which make it unsuitable for your purposes? Reported upstream: https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1450 https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1450#c4 David, please read the comments from OpenSSH upstream. http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=ConsoleKit.git;a=blob;hb=HEAD;f=tools/ck-launch-session.c Apparently Ubuntu is using ck-launch-session in their startx. mccann says that the above should work in Fedora 8 but we need to test it. It is almost as simple as: ck-launch-session /usr/bin/gnome-session ... except we have a problem of how exactly ldm will know if ck-launch-session is there or not, since it isn't running on the same machine and it blindly tries to launch whatever ldminfod told it is available. Correction, Ubuntu and Debian both patched sshd despite upstream's objections. This leaves us at a functionality disadvantage. =( Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. We believe that it is more appropriate for this issue to be resolved upstream. Red Hat will continue to track the issue in the centralized upstream bug tracker, and will review any bug fixes that become available for consideration in future updates. Thank you for the bug report. CLOSED UPSTREAM is an inappropriate state because it completely falls off our radar. Even if it is not possible to fix at the moment, please keep it open here. This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 13 development cycle. Changing version to '13'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Over one year, and upstream still active rejecting this solution. I think that closing this bugzilla is the best solution for it. |
Colin Watson of Ubuntu developed a patch for adding ConsoleKit support to openssh. This is useful because - ConsoleKit is evolving into a utmp/wtmp replacement so tracking users logging in via ssh is useful - We'll do the right thing on the GNOME Shutdown dialog and prompt when trying to shutdown and there are users logged in via ssh - It's the foundation for the PolicyKit authorization framework to grant authorizations to users that only apply when they are logged in from a well-known remote host. E.g. right now I'm working on adding support to PolicyKit for this so you can do things like polkit-auth --user bateman \ --grant org.libvirt.unix.manage \ --constraint remote_host_name:"*.securelab.company.com" (Of course this relies on secure DNS but that's another can of worms) Please add this to the Fedora openssh packages. Will attach patches.
