I tried to reproduce the problem, however I am not asked for the root password, but the system simply goes to shutdown.

Do there appears the selection dialog? (Restart, shutdown, cancel)? Then when you select restart or shutdown, no root password request appears? There must be any setting not allowing these operations to everyone! Security problem!

This can be configured in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager ("DISPLAYMANAGER_SHUTDOWN"). See also the corresponding comment in that file. -- 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.
