Agreed. It is IMNSHO truly amazing that something (Solaris) so powerful and so historical is also providing some of the best (GUI) tools to make it very user-friendly. Newer versions of OpenSolaris now have graphic tools to allow a non-root user to log-out or shut-down. This is a non-issue. If someone wants to use OpenSolaris as a stand-alone machine as the original poster stated, s/he can always "graphically" change the privilege(s) of a particular user. Solaris developers have come out with one of the most advanced tools that I have ever seen. To quickly power off a stand-alone Solaris desktop machine, one can always graphically create a launcher on the desktop to run the following command: /usr/sbin/poweroff This will turn off your /stand-alone/ machine quicker than anything you have ever seen. But, again, for such a powerful operating system, requiring some reading is not asking too much.
