Will not work unless you are root. If you are a user, it will wait or refuse till other users log out. Even an ssh session blocks it.
Well, as I mentioned in the part you trimmed, I believe this is the correct behavior.
Perhaps there should be some setting roor could make to allow shutdowns with other users logged in, but I am not aware of any.
istr yast asked during original install if a <user> could do system shutdown. And I found it, yast2 -> sysconfig editor -> desktop -> display manager -> DISPLAYMANAGER_SHUTDOWN Description: Determine who will be able to shutdown or reboot the system in kdm. Valid values are: "root" (only root can shutdown), "all" (everybody can shutdown), "none" (nobody can shutdown from displaymanager), "auto" (follow System/Security/Permissions/PERMISSION_SECURITY to decide: "easy local" is equal to "all", everything else is equal to "root"). gdm respects the PolicyKit settings for ConsoleKit. Shutdown configuration can be done via the polkit-default-privs mechanism. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
