1. power management authorization are granted through "powerdev" group membership. 2. you can also use gconf-editor to fine-grain control what user has _access_ to (In gconf-editor's help Menu, read "Default and Mandatory Settings" pages). look the gconf keys in /apps/gnome-power-manager/, like : - can_hibernate : If the user is authorized to hibernate the computer. - action_button_hibernate : "Hibernate button" action Of course, if you don't want anybody to hibernate|suspend your computer, you can disable it (see /etc/hibernate/ram.conf and hibernate.conf) > I have nothing about my users causing a hibernate or suspend on most of my > machines (except when hibernate or suspend doesn't work, of course), > especially if the user has physical access to the machine. see pam_group (see http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/308 but for group 'powerdev').
