7 Oct 2001


      nobody ever gave me an answer on this one. well apparently in 7.2 yast and 
yast2 fail to get this right. I had to go handedit 
/etc/opt/kde2/share/config/kdm/kdmrc and put AllowShutdown=Root

Hello,
I still have this one problem with kdm using kde 2.2.1.
I configure the shutdown permission via rc.config:
# If you want to allow root logins from other machines, set
ROOT_LOGIN_REMOTE
# system in kdm. Valid values are: "root", "all", "none", "local", "auto"
KDM_SHUTDOWN="root"
SuSEconfig ran.
But my KDM screen shows the following:
1. Clicking on Shutdown button
2. Window with menu: "Shutdown" "Reboot (1. Linux, 2. memtest86)" shows up.
3. Box to enter root password is missing.
4. Any user can get to the box and just shut it down, which was not my
intent.
Thank you,
mk
