Workaround:
As I've commented previously, this partial solution is to modify this
file:
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.consolekit.policy
and change:
auth_admin_keep
to:
yes
Edit the file /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.consolekit.policy
using your favorite text editor. You will need root permissions.
Change the section relating to shutdown when others are logged in from
<action id="org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop-multiple-users">
<description>Stop the system when multiple users are logged in</description>
<message>System policy prevents stopping the system when other users are
logged in</message>
<defaults>
<allow_inactive>no</allow_inactive>
<allow_active>auth_admin_keep</allow_active>
</defaults>
</action>
to
<action id="org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop-multiple-users">
<description>Stop the system when multiple users are logged in</description>
<message>System policy prevents stopping the system when other users are
logged in</message>
<defaults>
<allow_inactive>no</allow_inactive>
<allow_active>yes</allow_active>
</defaults>
</action>
and the section relating to rebooting when others are logged in from
<action id="org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.restart-multiple-users">
<description>Restart the system when multiple users are logged
in</description>
<message>System policy prevents restarting the system when other users are
logged in</message>
<defaults>
<allow_inactive>no</allow_inactive>
<allow_active>auth_admin_keep</allow_active>
</defaults>
</action>
to
<action id="org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.restart-multiple-users">
<description>Restart the system when multiple users are logged
in</description>
<message>System policy prevents restarting the system when other users are
logged in</message>
<defaults>
<allow_inactive>no</allow_inactive>
<allow_active>yes</allow_active>
</defaults>
</action>
And that will allow you (any user) shutdown and reboot the PC when
multiple users are logged in. Whether you want to do that is a different
question.
