-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Yours it not the only one. I found the same problem on my install. It appears that it isn't limited to the console. I do have a extra question. If you have the X starting when it boots instead of logging into an account click reboot and see if your presented with choices or a blank menu.

Re: [newbie] Lost bash "Shutdown" command
Thanks to all who responded... logging in as superuser allows me to use shutdown. I haven't tried the other suggestions yet. Maybe I changed my security level/permissions or something when I upgraded this time.

Re: [newbie] Lost bash "Shutdown" command
Same here, had to copy /sbin/shutdown to /bin to make it visible to all users, then chmod a+s /bin/shutdown to suid it. I'm using standard security level, I wonder if in lower security level it's different. raffaele [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello Everyone, I have been using Mandrake since version 6.0 and have continually upgraded with no real problems.
