Make sure you have USE=policykit set for sys-apps/systemd.

Thank you, but I wanted to make the systemd-logind path work instead of
the sudo magic which I find kinda hackish.

I think my system meets the requirements, although I am not so sure
when 'it should work' is mentioned in various places, whether it is
supposed there are (for example) some polkit rules present in the
system (of which I didn't find any on my gentoo box).

The wiki link you mentioned does lead to some more information about
the permission checking which I'll investigate when I have more time.
But otherwise, short of installing Arch somewhere and have a look if
there's anything present that could make this work I am clueless :(

Cheers,
Lukas

IIRC "CONFIG_AUDIT" and "CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_AUDITSYSCALL" must be set
in the kernel configuration. But as I don't use this method I cannot
say this for sure.

Try this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/allow_users_to_shutdown ,
I think you might be happy with it. I don't have systemd personally so
I don't have any experience with it. From what I read on the wiki,
this will be an easy fix.

Instead of using users in the "Users without sudo privileges" section, I
think you can also use groups without the hostname. All you would have
to do is make a group that you would like to be able to shutdown or
whatever with the computer.

[gentoo-user] Shutdown through systemctl as a normal user

2016-01-16 Thread lukash 
Hi all,

I'm reading on the internet that systemctl poweroff should work for
normal user if he is the only one logged in, he is logged in locally
and his session is active. I seem to be meeting these conditions:

# loginctl
   SESSIONUID USER SEAT
 2   1000 lukash           seat0

$ loginctl show-session 2
Id=2
User=1000
Name=lu
Timestamp=Sat 2016-01-16 17:27:30 CET
TimestampMonotonic=9614418
VTNr=7
Seat=seat0
Display=:0
Remote=no
Service=lightdm
Desktop=awesome
Scope=session-2.scope
Leader=529
Audit=2
Type=x11
Class=user
Active=yes
State=active
IdleHint=no
IdleSinceHint=0
IdleSinceHintMonotonic=0

But invoking the command gives me:

$ systemctl poweroff
Failed to set wall message, ignoring: Access denied
Failed to power off system via logind: Access denied
Failed to start poweroff.target: Access denied

How is this supposed to work on Gentoo?

Thanks in advance,
Lukas
