Description Rahul Sundaram 2009-05-27 04:49:28 UTC
Description of problem:

usermode/consolehelper is deprecated since Fedora has a better framework now
called PolicyKit. Please switch to using that instead

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/PolicyKitOne

Comment 1 Robert Scheck 2009-05-27 16:06:49 UTC
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.

Comment 2 John Poelstra 2009-06-08 20:18:45 UTC
Added 'FutureFeature' keyword to avoid rawhide base
