Guys, I don't about 9.0, or which versions (RC releases, boxed set, d/l
versions) you're using, but I had this same trouble with 8.2. Using the d/l 3
CD version, any normal user on my system could not shut it down. As soon as I
purchased the boxed set (7 CD Powerpack), my normal users could once again
shut down. I don't know if its relevant here or not, but its just a thought...
See ya...
