Hello. I miss the good old days on almost every Linux that normal users cannot shutdown the machine. I have a SuSE 10.1 installation which has to be on for all the time. Every user go to click 'Desktop' -> 'Logout', then, instead of given this dialog: gopher://sdf.lonestar.org/I/users/weiwu/logout_prompt_1.png This dialog is given: gopher://sdf.lonestar.org/I/users/weiwu/logout_prompt_2.png
What I want is dialog 1. What I have is dialog 2.
Can I achieve it?
My Chinese isn't very good, so those pictures don't tell me much, however you can configure the KDE desktop to requires root password for shutdown & reboot. You can also change the permissions for /sbin/halt.

Hi, in Personal Settings/System Administration/Login Manager you'll find options to allow (or not) everybody to issue a shutdown either remotely or locally. You'll obviously need root password to change the settings :) Cheers, -mw
