Re: [SLE] how to make: require root password to shutdown / normal user cannot shutdown

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.
