Bugzilla – Bug 447243
The system cannot be shut down by an ordinary user
Last modified: 2008-11-21 02:45:25 UTC
When I choose to shut down the machine it asks for the root password. Someties (e.g. for servers) it can be a good thing, however, I definitely don't want - to give the root password to my wife - or to let her user administrative privileges - or every time assist her when she wants to shut down her machine. Expected behavior: let an ordinary user be able to shut down the machine by default. Asking the root password can be an extra configurable possibility.
