Folks,
I've installed SuSE 7.2 Pro on my father's machine as a dual-boot with his
Win98. Everything was going well and he was learning about Linux, when
something changed while I was attempting to make his USB ethernet device
work. I'm not sure what caused it, although I suspect it was entering:
init 0
as root. But now it requires the root password to shutdown or restart. I
can see where this would be valuable in a server that you didn't want the
average user rebooting, but in a home machine that is set up for dual-boot
it is cumbersome at best. Since my father can not be trusted with the root
password (not a slight, but if you knew him you'd understand), this is not
acceptable as it prevents him from playing with (learning) Linux.
I've searched the SuSE database and the SxS database for information on
this, but nothing comes up.
Can someone please explain to me where this is set up? Specifically, how to
turn this "option" off?
In Harmony's Way, and In A Chord,
Tom :-})
