Title: rules to prevent non-root users from rebooting not taken into account Status in policykit-1 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: On fresh Ubuntu Jammy installation, I add a "/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/90-mandatory.d/restriction.pkla" file with the following contents : [Disable power-off] Identity=unix-user:* Action=org.freedesktop.login1.power-off ResultActive=no ResultInactive=no ResultAny=no [Disable power-off when others are logged in] Identity=unix-user:* Action=org.freedesktop.login1.power-off-multiple-sessions ResultActive=no ResultInactive=no ResultAny=no [Disable_reboot] Identity=unix-user:* Action=org.freedesktop.login1.reboot ResultActive=no ResultInactive=no ResultAny=no [Disable_reboot_when_others_are_logged_in] Identity=unix-user:* Action=org.freedesktop.login1.reboot-multiple-sessions ResultActive=no ResultInactive=no ResultAny=no It must prevent non-root users from shutdowning and rebooting the system. But it only prevent shutdowning. Rebooting is still possible for a non-root user. We can see it using pkcheck command (as a non-root user) : $ pkcheck --action-id org.freedesktop.login1.power-off --process $PPID ; echo $? Not authorized. 1 $ pkcheck --action-id org.freedesktop.login1.reboot --process $PPID ; echo $? 0 As this problem can lead to unexpected reboot on multi-users systems (a disponibilty concern), I checked the "This bug is a security vulnerability" box.
