[expert] Re: L-M6.1/7.0Beta shutdown -a

[WH Bouterse]

For those who care, just noticed on the 
cooker list, I was not the only one with
the "no authorized users logged on" message.

The security protocols look promising however
and another method is putting in an
/etc/shutdown.allow file with authenticated user,
So with 'root' in it the next step is,
#shutdown -a now

That works too.

Defining shutdown authority in linuxconf has no effect?

So how does telinit bypass the security?
How to disable telinit for the "public" machines?
