If you use ACPI emerge acpid-1.0.2-r2 (you need -r2 for a working default config) you can poweroff your laptop with the power button. Have a look at /etc/acpi/default.sh, you can define any action there. If you want to use the commands halt/poweroff/reboot as user you can either use sudo or set them SUID (security risk) with chmod u+s <filename> Marius -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
