Re: shutdown problem
Many thanks to people who replied. Yes, removing /etc/shutdown.allow
helps. I put a username in that file, the user I log in for everyday's
working. dont know why it caused the problem.
I also found a symptom as well: `who` did not return anything.
I think I am going to use sudo to shutdown, which I found easy to
configure too.
happy holidays!
