Am I correct in thinking that this is all that is necessary to make sure a command issued by me from the console will have the correct permission to shutdown? I think a good way to test would be to run xfce4-session-logout without any arg, and chose “halt” there. I have tried this, and it shuts down correctly. So would it still be a permissions issue? Hmhm, I'm not sure. I don't think so, but it could still be an environment problem in the shell. Afair, xfce4-session sends a dbus message to hal to ask for shutdown, so you might want to monitor both dbus (dbus-monitor) and hal (lshal -m) and see what happen in both cases (doing so from another box with ssh might be a good idea).

I've just tested on a squeeze box, and it /does/ work fine here, so my guess is a permissions problem. Cheers, -- Yves-Alexis signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
