It is clear that different scenarios require different rules. I have installed Fedora for three different friends. All at different physical locations from my place. These people have no computer knowledge, so giving them elevated permissions spells disaster. However they must to be able to start the box and turn it off. A different scenario is server box which requires different rules.
Thus why not make the choice configurable? One of my many dislikes of Microsoft Windows has been its rigidity. Furthermore, as it stands today be caught in a false sense of security. A reboot can be executed immediately by any user regardless of whether anyone else is logged in and with no warning issued. ----- Original Message ----- On Fri, Jul 27, 2012 at 11:09:03 +0200, Karel Volný <kvo...@redhat.com> wrote: > >if the user is local then DO NOT ask for admin privileges (else >the user will just cut the power supply which is worse than >killing others' running processes) I'd prefer to keep that option. A local user would be less likely to power off the machine than shut it down.
