No, since the kernel has no way to ask for input. Imagine a two-seated machine with two keyboards, mice and monitors, one terminal at each serial port, three users logging in using XDM and one disconnected screen session on tty6. Who's going to be asked? And in case of X11 or XDM: How should the kernel authenticate to the user's screen? -- A beggar walked up to a well-dressed woman shopping on Rodeo Drive and said, "I haven't eaten anything for days." She looked at him and said, "God, I wish I had your willpower."
