I guess that most people who wants to reboot machines have also the root password. So they would not need this permission for their user accounts. Giving all non-administrators the reboot permission per default is wrong. If root wants to give them reboot permission then he could do it via sudoers. This console/remote user magic is IMO useless.
I have often used ssh to connect to a computer and then, as root, rebooted or halted it. You don't have to be sitting in a box to reboot or halt. You don't even have to be root, if you use the desktop or menu to halt or restart. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
