I think the problem is, that the CD remains in a "twilight" status: neither mounted nor unmounted. Thank you very much anyway.

I just wanted to point out that it is behaving differently, since I have '/etc/shutdown.allow'.

Now when I type 'shutdown -a -h now' it still tells me, I have to be root. It looks like I have to set a SUID-flag. But I would prefer a better solution. Otherwise: What would 'shutdown.allow' bX-MoX-Mozilla-Status: 0009ery much, anyway. Best regards, Andreas.
