Can you change DISPLAYMANAGER_SHUTDOWN in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager to 'root' when enabling VNC?
If I remember correclty I have tried to change the default value to root but to no success. Anyways -- it says in the description of that option: Determine who will be able to shutdown or reboot the system in kdm and gdm. Valid values are: "root" (only root can shutdown), "all" (everybody can shutdown), "none" (nobody can shutdown from displaymanager), "auto" (follow System/Security/Permissions/PERMISSION_SECURITY to decide: "easy local" is equal to "all", everything else is equal to "root"). Note that remote user can never shutdown in GDM. So no remote user should ever be able to shutdown, which is a sensible default value. Unfortunately it doesn't work -- and having to tweak deeply buried settings in sysconfig in order to make the system secure doesn't appeal to me, too. Sounds so much like Redmond in my ears :) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
