My primary Linux computer is a laptop, so I am always shutting it down. Having recently converted from Mandrake to SuSe 9.0 Pro. I found it annoying that my regular user account could not shutdown or restart the computer.  Having to log off and then shutdown from the display manager was getting very tiresome and opening a console to SU so I could shutdown was almost as bad.

Have you tried using the Control Center to set shutdown? Control Center>System Admin>Login Manager Then click Administrator Mode, root password, then go up to Sessions>Allow Shutdown and select how you want it to be. Richard
