Setting up consolehelper is well documented here and elsewhere: http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Deployment_Guide/s1-access-console-enable.html Quoting from equivalent of PolicyKit upstream is: http://people.freedesktop.org/~david/polkit-0.91/docs/PolicyKit-1.8.html "TODO: This manual page should contain a simple introduction to PolicyKit for a system administrator audience. Remains to be written." In the end, pure-ftpd doesn't need that dependency hell, PolicyKit brings in. Pureftpd-who is a tiny command line application, where consolehelper is really much enough. Please stay with that and avoid bloaty stuff. Added 'FutureFeature' keyword to avoid rawhide base This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. Reviving a really old (but still open and relevant) bug... IMHO the usermode/consolehelper wrapper for "ftpwho" should just be dropped (which would resolve this ticket). This appears to be a Fedora-specific setup, not upstream, and isn't documented that I found. It gives a console user access to see FTP users... but why? I can only guess that someone was running an FTP server on a workstation and wanted to see who was logged in without using sudo or such. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=151337 is where it was originally added. I tend to agree that this functionality should be removed completely. Non-root users have no business seeing what other users are logged in to FTP and we should return to the upstream default functionality here.
