I won't argue whether this is a good or bad idea. I allow the last person working, in this fairly small enclosed environment, to logout of the server system (running KDM) and perform a shutdown from the KDM logout screen. This system does not need to run 24/7 when no clients are present and nobody is using the server for other purposes. Anyhow, it all worked fine with the previous RH7.2 installation and now it fails much of the time. I just can't understand why the shutdown would work once in a while but not always. It would be simpler to understand if it NEVER worked as opposed to intermittently.
