Hello, Some days ago, I installed some machines with Debian jessie. Now I want to achieve that, from the different desktop environments (KDE, GNOME, etc.), the computers can only be shutdown, rebooted, suspended or hibernated, after entering the root password.
In Debian 7, I achieved that by creating a file /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/custom-menu.pkla with the following contents: [Disable suspend] Identity=unix-user:* Action=org.freedesktop.upower.suspend ResultActive=no ResultAny=no [Disable hibernate] Identity=unix-user:* Action=org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate ResultActive=no ResultAny=no [Disable shutdown] Identity=unix-user:* Action=org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop ResultActive=no ResultAny=no [Disable reboot] Identity=unix-user:* Action=org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.restart ResultActive=no ResultAny=no In Debian 8, this does not have the desired effect any more. Obviously, the names of the actions have been changed to org.freedesktop.login1.reboot etc., but even after replacing the action names in custom-menu.pkla accordingly, no root authentication is required before shutting down the computers. So, what is the correct way to achieve my goal in jessie? Viele Grüße Christoph
