Hi All, 

Running Suse 10.2 on a number of machines and have some issues with
power management.

When I first installed suse 10.2 on one machine, I couldn't get a normal
user to be able to suspend or hibernate the machine, even though root
could (so know the hardware was capable)

I found a workaround, and wrote it in my little blue book of knowledge
so I wouldn't forget, which was to fire up Yast2, goto /etc/sysconfig
Editor, choose System>Powermanagement>Sleep Modes >
Disable_User_Stanadby and change parameter from Yes to NO..

Great - worked a treat - till the hard drive failed and I had to do a
re-install.

The re-install now doesn't have this setting, so I can't get normal
users to hibernate/suspend the machine which is somewhat irritating.

I did some searching, and unfortunately now cannot remember where i
found it, but found some stuff relating
to /etc/PolicyKit/privilege.d/hal-power-*

Now taken a look at those settings, tweaked and rebooted but still a
normal user cannot hibernate the system...

Please can someone point me in the right direction.

Cheers

AM
