Sounds like it would be impossible for an admin to set a system policy. Anyways, does that allow to set arbitrary timeouts? Are there for example lower limits so users can't accidently kill the harddisk by setting it to one second? -- 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.

An admin that cares for this enough can as well set a mandatory dconf file. So in essence, this admin would define the spin down he wants hard set... This is possible as described at https://wiki.gnome.org/dconf/SystemAdministrators As such, I'd argue all the things required for an admin to take care of it is in place. -- 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.
