I don't think it does this now.
I think we need to have a definition on what "at_console" means.
Is it supposed to be:
1. user is sitting at computer with an interactive session, which gets
revoked if he uses f-u-s-a (and the new user gets the at_console privs)
2. any user *locally* logged in (using gdm, or f-u-s-a) has "at_console"
privs.
2. user has to be logged on locally using gdm, as opposed to f-u-s-a,
and the at_console is never revoked (which is what it appears to do now)
(1) or (2) makes most sense from a developer perspective.
Sorry for being thick, but I think there's a bug somewhere, and I'm not
sure where the bug lies.
Richard.
