Description Samuli Suominen 2010-12-02 09:57:08 UTC
SLIM [1] is setting PAM_RHOST to "localhost" making ConsoleKit's pam_ck_connector.so think it's a remote host called localhost instead of actual localhost.

It would propably make sense to special case PAM_RHOST named "localhost".

Meanwhile I've reported this to SLIM developers here:

Just so you don't get me wrong: Feel free to close this as WONTFIX if you think it's a bad idea to special case PAM_RHOST named localhost. 
It's propably a bad idea on second thought, what about ip6-localhost then? You'd propably end up special casing a lot of different scenarios :/
