[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#559256: policykit-1-gnome: User can restart PC with other users logged in

[Nathan A. Stine]

Package: policykit-1-gnome
Version: 0.95-1
Severity: normal

When I attempt to restart the system via gdm (System->Shut Down from the GNOME main menu), policykit tells me that other users are logged in and I must use the root password to be able to restart.  In my case, I usually have a root terminal open on tty1, which is the other "user"

However, I can hit cancel and bypass this and the system still restarts.  I am not sure where the problem lies, but I would think that policykit should interrupt the restart request if the root password is not entered.

Best regards,

Nathan A. Stine
