I have tried to change two files in /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm: kdmrc AND kdmrc.SuSEconfig In both, I tried to change the following items: AllowShutdown=All (from "Root") I then tried to run both ldconfig and SuSEconfig, yet the change doesn't seem to take effect. However, I get the following output from SuSEconfig <clipping the leading and ending lines>: Executing /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.ispell... Executing /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.kdm3... ATTENTION: You have modified /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm//kdmrc. Leaving it untouched... You can find my version in /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm//kdmrc.SuSEconfig... Executing /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.libxml2... Executing /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.man_info... Any idea how to get the changes to take place? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Cheers, wmeler
