^ I don't know about that. I recently upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 and I
have the same problem!
If I try to shutdown from inside, it refuses if there are other users.

fine with it !?!

That got fixed in Ubuntu 8.10. GNOME has used ConsoleKit for
shutdown/reboot since then, which asks for the admin password when you
try to shutdown with several users being logged in.

I got hit by this too! I need to disable users ability to shut down the
machine, but the authorizations-console doesn't do a thing. So how I'm
gone do that?
I too can't understand why this is on a wishlist. This seems to be
violation of Unix principles and allowing ohter users to accidently shut

Definitely, this is serious security problem that should not be present
on a LTS version. I can't understand why it is marked as wishlist.
This is an Ubuntu problem, since it is not present on Debian Lenny.

From what I understand it should function correctly once GDM has been
updated to the new version 2.21.

Ubuntu offers to shut down/restart the computer even if other users
are logged in, so if user A has unsaved data open, and user B shuts
down the computer, A loses data.
There should at least be a message X users are still logged in, do
you really want to restart?.
As far as I can
Has anyone come up with a workaround for this? Who do I have to beg to
upgrade this from wishlist? Having entire labs where students
accidentally shut down the systems is extemely annoying. Thanks!

This all said - does anyone have a fix or workaround? I really need to
keep desktop users from simply shutting down or rebooting machines. I
know they can just push the power button, but I'd like to at least avoid
accidental reboots/shutdowns!
Thanks!

Theoretically this should disable rebooting from within the desktop
environment without authentication:
polkit-action --set-defaults-active org.freedesktop.hal.power-
management.reboot auth_admin
However, it doesn't work. I also don't think this should be a wishlist
item. It is a vital aspect of
The new Authorizations (policykit-gnome) system in hardy should fix this
issue, but unfortunately it doesn't work. Setting Admin Authorization
required to reboot/shutdown has no effect, the user is still able to
reboot/shutdown.

In multi user mode, how can one user turn off the computer from his
login, while other user is still logged in. ( and that too when the
guest user is unprivileged)
Ideally it should logout (even on giving shutdown option) to the
original locked screen of previous user.

yes this could be marked as a concern if your computer acts as a
firewall/router, and can lead to serious dataloss from unsaved work and
jobs that are active can be killed by any user upon shutdown

In addition to the message, shutdown should only happen if the user
