I proposed this a while back, so I'm in favor. :) One thing though, since suspend/resume doesn't work for most of our users, that bit should be an option, off by default.

x11-wm/xfce4-session default reboot/halt/suspend permissions
Hi folks, Port x11-wm/xfce4-session currently provides a pkg-message that advises folk to add a .pkla file in: %%LOCALBASE%%/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d that adds the necessary PolicyKit permissions to add reboot/halt and now also suspend capabilities to the xfce4-session-logout dialog. It requires users to copy a sample, and edit: Identity=unix-group:PUTYOURGROUPHERE I would like to propose that this file be installed by the port with the above line set to: Identity=unix-group:wheel My intent here is to automatically enable reboot/halt/suspend capability in a way that doesn't open new holes. Users in group wheel can already reboot/halt/suspend, so this will work as expected on systems with users in the wheel group. Users in other groups can still edit the file as they need. Any problems with this? -jr ___ freebsd-xfce@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-xfce To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-xfce-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
