Comments on: Disable Shutdown For Normal Users http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/03/20/disable-shutdown-for-normal-users/ Not quite everything about Ubuntu, but close. Thu, 09 Feb 2012 12:25:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Edward http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/03/20/disable-shutdown-for-normal-users/#comment-156087 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 13:25:31 +0000 https://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/03/20/disable-shutdown-for-normal-users/#comment-156087 What I need is to keep the power off button enabled on the login screen (GDM) but no power off option from a user session, I mean, there must be no option for shutdown/suspend/hibernate on the logout menu/button.
Sometimes, people click on the wrong place and shutdown, suspend or hibernate the computer by mistake when they’re trying to logout. I want to avoid that by forcing the user to logout first and then power off as a separate action to be done only if it is really necessary.

Thus Step 2 can be skipped, but I have a problem with Step 5 – this is done in the user configuration, so the user can also circumvent it. Is there a better solution?
I wonder how one can configure that CTRL+ALT+DEL only works for certain users – usually it even works on ttys where no login prompt is running, except on ttys with X. I’ll have to test this one. As a temporary workaround I will create a dummy user and log him in/lock the screen when I start the computer, so no one can shut it down (together with Step 1).

Each line in that file should contain only the username of user who is allowed to reboot.
