Hello, ... I want some logged in users to be able to shutdown the box, and the manpage of shutdown suggest adding the user names to /etc/shutdown.allow and using the -a option to shutdown.
But this does not work, i only get the : shutdown: you must be root to do that! message as response. Is this supposed to work ? Am i missing something ? Did anyone manage to make it work ? As context, this is the first step in having gnome ask to logout or halt when login out from the foot menu, which together with automatic login in gdm is a very nice feature for a single user desktop system for newbies. Please CC me as i am not subscribed to the debian-user list, Thanks for any help, Friendly, Sven, Luther
