Yep been there. Done that. It only applies to KDM and KDE. Does nothing
for Gnome or GDM. I also set GDM_SHUTDOWN to All. It does nothing
either.
Out of the box, with SuSe 9.0 Pro, there is no way for regular user to
shutdown the computer without logging out of his session when using
Gnome and GDM.
I can't speak to previous versions of SuSe as 9.0 Pro is my first time
to use SuSe. I have been using Mandrake for the last 2 years on my
laptops and Redhat on my servers for the last 4 years.
Note to everyone who has posted.
I solved the shutdown issue by creating a symlink in /usr/bin to the
shutdown command in /sbin and set the permissions on it so a regular
user could execute it. My original post on this was a reply to someone
else who was asking about it and who had hijacked another thread (see
the thread Reverse Search). I started a new thread to let him know how
I solved the shutdown problem.
I appreciate everyones input. Thanks.
