Binary package hint: policykit-gnome
On Ubuntu Hardy, the policy that allows or disallows users to shut down
the system, or to shut down the system wile other users are logged in,
is completely ignored. Any user can shut down the system, no matter if
there are other users logged in, nor if you have disallowed it via the
"Authorizations" dialog.
There is a similar bug reported for the Beta version (Bug #148534), but
it is marked as "wishlist" and looks like wil never be fixed. I think
this is a serious enough problem on an enterprise-quality Linux distro.
** Affects: policykit-gnome (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New

Users can shut down the system even if disallowed via "Authorizations"
