NO :-/ > Was root still logged in on another console? Yes, as well as the user "oswald" But now I understand, apparently this means as long as root, or a user who is allowed to shutdown another person who does not have this privilege can also shutdown the pc. This is what just happened, I tried it, root and "oswald" were logged out, and this time I got the error.
