I run Xfce 4.2.3.2 and want to be able to shut down my system from within X. At the moment I have to log in as root and then issue a shutdown command, but Xfce is supposed to support doing this through the GUI.
Looking around turned up the Xfce documentation and specifically <http://www.xfce.org/documentation/docs-4.2/xfce4-session.html#xfsm-shutdown>, which says I need sudo and the right to execute xfsm-shutdown-helper as root. OK, so I emerged app-admin/sudo and added the following line at the end of /etc/sudoers using visudo: %wheel vuk=/usr/libexec/xfsm-shutdown-helper NOPASSWD (Those are tabs.) My system is named vuk, I am a member of the wheel group, and /etc/hosts says: vuk ~ # grep vuk /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 vuk.kjorling.com vuk localhost ::1 ip6-localhost vuk ip6-loopback vuk ~ # Still, trying "sudo /usr/libexec/xfsm-shutdown-helper" from the command line gives me: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ sudo /usr/libexec/xfsm-shutdown-helper Password: (trying the root password) Sorry, try again. Password: (^C) sudo: 1 incorrect password attempt [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ sudo /usr/libexec/xfsm-shutdown-helper Password: (trying my own password) Sorry, user michael is not allowed to execute '/usr/libexec/xfsm-shutdown-helper' as root on vuk. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ...and the options to shut down or reboot are still grayed out in the Xfce quit dialog box. I checked /etc/group and did not find any obvious group I should add myself to (say, `sudoers' or something like that). I use PAM and /etc/pam.d/sudo (autogenerated) uses system-auth for auth, account, password and session.
