That's odd.  The only time that the pam module should report is-local
== FALSE is when PAM_RHOST is set.  This should only happen for remote
logins.

Are you sure you don't have an old version of the pam module or the
connector lib somewhere?  We changed the install dir defaults
recently.

Otherwise this is probably a good time to see if the new debugging
system works.  Run:
pkill -USR1 -f console-kit-daemon

and then do another login and see what syslog puts in your daemon
facility output.

It has been mentioned before and should be possible.  I'd very likely
accept a patch that does this.

Thanks,
