Description Dennis Golden 2015-12-29 02:40:06 UTC 
The kdm display manager ignores the sysconfig DISPLAYMANAGER_SHUTDOWN configuration. I have specified root as the only allowed user, but any user can shutdown or reboot the system. It is even being allowed from the greeter screen. This prevents me from being able to use Leap in a production environment.

I have found no work around for this bug.

No, it doesn't any more, as we got (a lot of) bug reports that kdm doesn't respect certain settings in kdmrc (because it took them from /etc/sysconfig). So the usage of /etc/sysconfig/ got minimized in the last years.

Set the option AllowShutdown to your preferred value in /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc.
You should also be able to use YaST->Security and Users->Security Center and System Hardening to configure that, or KDE4's systemsettings (package kdebase4-workspace-addons).

PS: for the shutdown option, Bug#860507 is relevant in particular.

Comment 4 Dennis Golden 2015-12-29 16:31:38 UTC 
Sometime between October 2014 and April 2015 an extra "AllowShutdown=All" got into the /usr/share/kde5/config/kdm/kdmrc file at line 524.

This bug also applies to openSUSE 13.2.

Dennis
