[opensuse-kde] unwanted change in shutdown behavior
All users are suddenly able to shut down the system. This was not intended by me. I am running secure local permissions and did not authorize or set any change. So I have to be worried that the permissions have been altered? What has changed this setting. WLAN setting and connection authorization seem normal. And where in KDE do I have the possibility to have an easy to understand synoptic view of the permissions of my systems and the user authorization. In Mageia there is in KDE a polkit setting application that is missing in openSUSE. So what does opensuse forsee to manage polkit settings (other than editing by hand).

systemsettings -> login screen My default is that locally, any KDE user can shut down the system. But you can change that. As for permissions -- that's so enormous! I use the Konqueror file browser and that has a setting which allows you to chose what to display for each file and directory as you view the directory contents. You can also click on any one icon to drill down. Apart from that, could you be more specific please. What is this tool from Mageia? Have you searched for it in the various suse repositories? -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML Mail / \ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

There definitely used to be KCM in systemsettings for fiddling with policykit/polkit/polkit1 (what is it called this week?) settings. Not sure it ever worked too well. I found this blog post which implies the KCM went unmaintained about a year ago. http://martinbriza.wordpress.com/2013/03/20/whats-up-with-polkit-in-qt-and-k... Surely there must exist _some_ GUI for it, even if a non-KDE one. Luckily the defaults work fine for me and my single-user systems :-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Hi-- Could it be as simple as this? Tom From /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc
# Who is allowed to shut down the system. This applies both to the # greeter and to the command sockets. # "None" - no "Shutdown..." menu entry is shown at all # "Root" - the root password must be entered to shut down # "All" - everybody can shut down the machine # Default is All AllowShutdown=All -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
