Actually if root would allow a certain user to reboot a mshine - it wouldn't be that bad. To my understanding any user may shutdown h i s client, that may be the reason why kdm comes with this feature.
This wouldn't help in my case though - I'll rather stick to xdm and fvwm2 - even for the future. Robert -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
