Hi, Redhat has somehow managed to allow any user to shut the computer down from the GNome logout menu. Usually, that only appears in case you're running GNome2 as root - hence it almost never happens.
I have tried everything to get that enhanced logout menu in Debian unstable / GNome2.x but I haven't found a way. IIRC there has been an argument about this issue on this mailing list that basically stated that this is not possible in Debian. However you have two ways to achieve that shutdown for every user in some way: - Use KDE3 & KDM - that'll allow you to shutdown the computer from said logout menu - Configure GDM so users can shut down the computer from there. You can also set SUID on shutdown and add a Launcher to your Panel or Desktop in GNome. Maritn On Sat, 2003-09-27 at 15:13, Ben Edwards wrote: > Is there a way of allowing any user to shutdown.
