On my gateway/firewall machine, I get the message "no authorized users
logged in" when I try to reboot, unless root is logged in.
I'd like for CTL+ALT+DEL to reboot it even if *nobody* is logged in.
To make a a short story long . . .
I'm sure that the problem is that the security level is set to high;
that's because it's a firewall machine, and I want high security w/r/t
the outside world, but I want "running with scissors" security w/r/t to
the physical world.
(In fact, as a reflection of this, I have a *very* secure
password--randomly generated from a maximal character set--but I have
the password taped onto the front of the box. If a bad guy is already
standing in front of my firewall, I've got much bigger problems than the
security of my *computer* system.)
The keyword is physically inaccessible (difficult to get to, that is),
so logging in as root just to reboot is a real pain. Frequently I wind
up just hitting the power switch, but this is obviously a less than
ideal way to reboot on a regular basis.
So . . .
What controls this? How can I change it?
