Jarry If the display manager is automatically configured to display upon bootup, then any user (check group permissions) should be able to shutdown the system, from the graphical choices on the gui of the default login screen, after loginout from their session. In fact some graphical environments allow for a shutdown in lieu of exiting the login session(s). Just a thought, hth, James
[gentoo-user] Hardened and python 3
hello, Last time I researched a gentoo hardened environment, it called for the default of Python to still be series 2 of the software. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with a Hardened Gentoo workstation that was using python 3 exclusively? Some various other packages still using python 2, but which are not formally part of a Hardened Gentoo system, are not of great concern to me. curiously, James

I know of no problems using python-3.x as the default interpreter on hardened. Most if not all of my hardened machines are configured that way, although packages are still free to request (and many still require) python-2.x.

As a side note, you need consolekit or systemd for that... that's what the *kit stuff is good for. -- Andreas K. Huettel Gentoo Linux developer dilfri...@gentoo.org http://www.akhuettel.de/

Without them, Portage will be unable to e.g. load policy and set file context. You can have Python 3 installed, and it can be the default interpreter if sys-apps/portage was built with USE=python2, but you cannot have *only* Python 3. -- ♫Dustin http://dustin.hatch.name/
