I did so, but with no success :(
I think the problem is, that the CD remains in a "twilight" status:
neither mounted nor unmounted.
Thank you very much anyway.

Sorry, Ivan, I didn't make this very clear. I *do* want to use
Ctrl-Alt-Del. I just wanted to point out that it is behaving
differently, since I have '/etc/shutdown.allow'. Now I have to be logged
in at least as a normal user - that wasn't the case before...

Actually 'shutdown' is in /sbin - so I added /sbin to my path...

Now when I type 'shutdown -a -h now' it still tells me, I have to be
root. It looks like I have to set a SUID-flag. But I would prefer a
better solution. Otherwise: What would 'shutdown.allow' bX-MoX-Mozilla-Status: 0009ery much, anyway.
Best regards,
Andreas.
