When I initially got my gnome desktop up and running (default debian 3.1r1 install), I was glad to see that it would not let you shut the system down without asking for root's password. Something has happened since then - I have no idea what - that causes the shutdown sequence to start of immediately when initiated from a desktop session (Actions --> Log Out --> Shut down) without requiring root's password. Can anyone help me find out what happened, and how to restore the (to me) important shutdown password security measure? Thanks so much in advance for your help. Nick
You can configure this on the login screen if I remember correctly - under system or actions- which is where you probably told it recently not to ask for the password, hence the change.
You can change this under the Login Screen setup menu in gnome -> security -> allow configuration from the login screen, so these mistakes do not happen again.
