I did file similar bug which was said to be duplicate of this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/206683
>From my point of view it would be acceptable, if a non privileged user has logged in as the only one user, that he/she is able to shutdown/reboot as a contribution to convenience. But is is absolutely NOT acceptable that if more than one user is logged in, a non-privileged user is allowd to shutdown/reboot the system. This way an inherent feature of Linux - a secure multi-user-system - is degraded to stone age times without any user-permissions. Ever heard opf the shell command 'users' to see who is logged in? In fact such beheaviour could also be used by malicious software and represents a SEVERE security issue ** This bug has been flagged as a security issue -- Power management policy not enfored in Hardy Beta 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205226 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
