At least I can reboot, poweroff and shutdown in a terminal. What I've set up at my home is to just create a pam config for gdm that allows login without a password instead of auto-login. I just added this line: auth sufficient pam_listfile.so \ file=/etc/gdmusers sense=allow onerr=fail item=user and created /etc/gdmusers with the account names of the users I'd like to be able to log in to gdm with no password. Combined with the face browser it makes for a fast 2-click login, and still allows logging out. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- http://www.anti-dmca.org/
