There will be no public CK database. However we will provide a tiny library (drop-in or .so) which allows NM, PK and D-Bus query whether a PID or user is currently on an active sesssion without involving D-Bus, as fast path for auth checks ... It would be nice if the ck-for-admins binaries still have an analog (ck-list-sessions, etc.). ... udev-acl will move into this dbus service ... I would hope that the interface for the udev rules themselves is not going to change, merely the mechanism that's used to apply the ACLs? ... CK's shutdown/reboot handling moves into a tiny bus service ... ... Would the shutdown/reboot/halt binaries remain separate from this servce?
