Thanks, good suggestions > >> Anyway I think that it is more clean to separate the setting in more files. > This would make the number of files equal to the number of settings we are > changing, which would be messy. This is not the first case that a config file is split in several sub-files. The <config>.d directories are a typical example. I have ne question: what happens if a sysctl setting is in more than one file ? systemd-sysctl is smart enough to write the last value or perform several writes ? >>> BTW, Kay, why is the default so conservative here (sysrq only)? >>> I would think that the general principle that the user who has physical >>> access to the machine and can flip the power switch should be able to >>> do various things which are disruptive, but not are not proviledge >>> escalation (let's call them reboot-like). >> >> I agree with you > Kay explained in IRC that we do not allow such actions, because access to > the keyboad doesn't mean full access to the machine, and we default to safe > settings.

However who has access to the keyboard and not to the "power switch" ? If I want to switch the PC and the software cannot allow it, I unplug the main power... I think that we should give access to other keys like: - Boot - Reboot - powerOff - Umount - often my Xorg freez and syrq-K is also useful Goffredo > Zbyszek > -- gpg @keyserver.linux.it: Goffredo Baroncelli (kreijackATinwind.it> Key fingerprint BBF5 1610 0B64 DAC6 5F7D 17B2 0EDA 9B37 8B82 E0B5 _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
