[SOLVED] Normal user is able to shut down the system (systemd conskit)

Hi
I noticed that i'm able to shutdown, reboot, or halt my system without root privileges. I don't know since when this is.
groups:
wheel optical kismet <username>
It's not an actual problem since i'm the only one using this computer. But since linux is a multi user system i think this is not as it should be.
Any ideas? Or is this how it should be?
Regards,
Archie

I'm sorry, I wrote post above from my phone so I gave you wrong command. Right one is loginctl show-session 1
Here is my output.

Line Active=yes tells you if session is properly authorised (in my case it is). If it is, you are able to shutdown, reboot, etc. without typing in password. This can be achieved with consolekit or polkit from testing repo (deprecates consolekit). Because you are not using testing repo, consolekit is probably responsible.

Alerts - Text Message "To Shut Down the System"

Hi Experts,
I want to set a Alert message to pop up for all the users of Business One.Lets say the message is "Shut down the system".Can we set this predefined Alert in B1? I tried ,but it asked to link the query.I don knw how .....pls help.

In order an alert to work, not only a message is needed, more important is the event to trigger this alert. What is your condition to alert user? If this condition is not directly related to B1 itself, such as you want all user out of B1 system, then an email broadcasting to a distribution list would be a better tool to use.
Thanks,
Gordon

Firefox exe application error the instruction at 0x60177757 referenced memory at "0x00000004" the memory could not be read- happens when shutting down the system

This happens every time when shutting down the system?

When I close out a website it goes to my desk top and then tells me firefox is running and I have to shut down the system

when I close out a website it goes to my desk top and then tells me firefox is already running and I have to shut down my system and bring it back up and wait to log back in. It's quite frustrating.

Try Ctrl>ALT>DEL then click Start Task Manager, then find the process firefox.exe, then click end program, then try opening Firefox again.  done! If that doesn't work, then try re-installing Firefox or going to this link to safe mode area and click continue to safe mode and then try and exit, if this problem still occurs then disable extensions and plugins

When I shut down the system, it shows that i have to stop or cancel the operations in the finder?I am unable to find out

When I try to shut down or restart the system, it shows that : The finder can't quit beacuase some oprations are still in progress. You can cancel or stop the operations ,and then try again.
COuld you please suggest how can I solve it?

If you're sure no operations really are in progress, such as a long file copy, select  ▹ Force Quit... from the menu bar, then select Finder and press return.

My control button does not allow me to return to the home page. I have to completely shut down the system and reboot to switch to another application.

My navigating button, key does not allow me to switch to other applications. To do this I have to
Shut down and reboot. I spoke with apple customer service on
Friday and they has me connect to the computer and download any new
And updated information. That resolved the issue for one day and the problem
Started again.

Try restoring your phone as a "new" device in iTunes, not from backup. When finished, eject your phone. Do not sync any content back to your phone. How are things working now? If OK, sync your content back to your phone. If not, make an appointment at an Apple store, as you most likely have a hardware issue.

Prevent Certain Users From Shutting Down the Mac

Hello,
I have a group of Mac Minis which are secured in an equipment rack. When someone shuts the computer off, the rack has to be moved and the Mac powered-on, manually. This is not as easy as it may seem. Is there a way to remove the "Shutdown" item from the Apple menu. I need the "Logoff" and "Reboot" the options to still be available. I do nt have an OS X server, from which to project these settings from Workgroup Manager. Is there some .plist I can edit, or permission I can change?
Thanks

Not possible without hacking the system and even then it is not foolproof. If you Google something like mac os x disable shutdown you'll get an idea of the situation.
And if you could remove the command from the Apple menu there is still the key combination to deal with.
If this is a social problem, users mistakenly shutting down the system then maybe education would be a better approach to take.
If it is willful or the inconvenience of this being done is very great then maybe you should suggest getting the serve for $20 just to have the ability to handle this.
regards
Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - it does appear that tinkertool says it does address the 'shutdown option in the finder'. Interesting to see if this is the Apple menu. Worth a shot

SAP System copy without shutting down the source and the target system

Hi,
We need to need to System refresh without shutting down both the source and the target system, i read the docs from SAP looks like we need to shutdown the source system during export and import phase, is there any way to do the system refresh without shutting down the system.
Sathish

Hi,
Think a little bit about what is a database and you'll get the answer that what you "need to need" is impossible.
Of course it is possible to keep the source running (hopefully, because ususally it is the production system !) by using an online backup, but you need to stop the target system because you will restore a backup on it.
If you use the export/import way, you have to stop both source and target system.
Regards,
Olivier

I'm getting kernel panics each day as I shut down, the message of restarting by holding down the power button appears on the screen - it began about a month ago and. Do you have any ideas of how to solve the problem?

I'm getting kernel panics each day as I shut down, the message of restarting by holding down the power button appears on the screen - it began about a month ago and. Do you have any ideas of how to solve the problem? I've copied the logs that I found for each kernel panic that still have the message logged. Please help if you can, I have read some of the other comments and perhaps it has something to do with my anti-virus software being on at start up. I have copied the log here. Any advice will be welcome.

Two experiments you can try.
1. Boot in safe mode and see if you can shut down normally. All thise additions won't be running in safe mode so this test would indicate it is one of them causing the problem.
2. Uninstall all the intego VirusBarrier stuff. That's my first guess and the troublemaker.

It's not good to shut off the power forcibly, right? (I dun know what else I can do...)

Hi Min! I'm having exactly the same issue - have been putting up with it now for months but have finally had enough! Every single time i eject either my iphone, ipad or ipod nano, itunes freezes up, the computer becomes unresponsive. Usually i can use the mouse to highlight icons but the system doesn't respond, the keyboard doesn't work and I have to do a hard reset.
Arrrrrggggggh!!!!!!! lol
Someone please help!!!

Doing those doesn't turn off your phone?
As stated hold down the top button only until you see the red slider to power off your phone.
If that doesn't work then take it to Apple and see what they say.

[SOLVED] Normal user is able to shut down the system (systemd conskit)
