In bug 31877 we are disabling the pam_console module by default, that is, pam_console is not used anymore to set the permissions on /dev nodes automatically at login, instead we just rely on appropriate group permissions on the devices.
In fact, newer versions of pam do not compile the pam_console module by default anymore, so this change is already in effect now.

To complete the job, and for cleanness, you should remove the references to pam_console.so in gnome-base/gdm/files/*/pam.d/*

Thanks.

I just used the files that were provided to me. I removed the refs in
2.6.0-openpam dir, which is where the pam eclass got introduced.
