Solaris does not use pam_console by default. When a user logs on the
console, the system chowns "/dev/console" device to this user. This
patch enables "at_console" support on Solaris.
The patch adds configure options:
--enable-console-owner-file
enable console owner file
--with-console-owner-file=filename
file to check for console ownerhip
First option enables the feature - it is off by default. Second option
allows further customization (default value is /dev/console).
When the feature is enabled, _dbus_is_console_user() would first try
/dev/console, and if it fails, fall back to /var/run/console - so if
someone does install pam_console on Solaris, things will just work.
thanks,
-Artem.
