Since a lot of steps from the shutdown will be done the remote access to this node no longer possible and only the local access to the keyboard helps you out to finish the reboot. Because of this I would say that this is not a unserious problem or in other words: Users can prevent that admins can reboot the host. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. login on local console (as normal user or root, it doesn't care) 2. press "scroll lock" on console 3. remote login as root and try to reboot Actual Results: The reboot process does not completely finish unless you disable "scroll lock". Expected Results: Ignore the scoll lock state -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
