I meant that adding your username isn't elegant ;) I think using the groups to control this is, to me, more elegant. In Debian, I didn't belong to any other groups than my own. So I don't get any access with any of the groups listed in sysactions.conf. To be able to get full access to the shutdown options using groups, add the user to one of the groups listed in sysactions.conf, such as audio, with usermod -a -G audio username. I discovered that this is why I had access to all the shutdown options in Arch, but not Debian. One of the (many) things I did getting Arch setup was to add my username to several groups, including audio. Never had to do this in Debian. Don't know if there are any potential problems by adding users to the audio group, I suspect not really. >> You can probably just use the group allow right below that, if you are a >> member of one of those groups.
