Yep been there. Done that. It only applies to KDM and KDE. Does nothing for Gnome or GDM. I also set GDM_SHUTDOWN to All. It does nothing either. Out of the box, with SuSe 9.0 Pro, there is no way for regular user to shutdown the computer without logging out of his session when using Gnome and GDM. I can't speak to previous versions of SuSe as 9.0 Pro is my first time to use SuSe. I have been using Mandrake for the last 2 years on my laptops and Redhat on my servers for the last 4 years. Note to everyone who has posted. I solved the shutdown issue by creating a symlink in /usr/bin to the shutdown command in /sbin and set the permissions on it so a regular user could execute it. My original post on this was a reply to someone else who was asking about it and who had hijacked another thread (see the thread Reverse Search). I started a new thread to let him know how I solved the shutdown problem. I appreciate everyones input. Thanks. -- Chuck Stuettgen <cstuettgen@myrealbox.com> http://www.cfs-tech.homelinux.net
