Hi, The init script currently uses /bin/su to run the daemon as 'nobody'. This opens a PAM session for the user, which is odd in itself. However, combined with pam-ck-connector and newer GNOME it means that the user cannot shutdown without the root password as it believes more than one user is logged in. start-stop-daemon has a --chuid option to change the user the daemon runs as, which is easier and avoids this issue. The attached patch uses that option, please consider applying it. I have just uploaded this patch to Ubuntu as the above configuration is our default one, so the problem affected most that installed monopd. Thanks, James
