Description Patrick Caldon 2004-05-27 16:57:15 UTC

Description of problem:

As a user, 'apm -s' results in failure.  looking at the code and
strace, it appears that apm tries to create /dev/apm_bios even if it
already exists, wich fails unless you're root.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

apmd-3.0.2-22

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. log in as user
2. type "apm -s"
3.
  
Actual results:

[mandy@localhost mandy]$ apm -s
apm: Operation not permitted
[mandy@localhost mandy]$

Expected results:

Machine suspended.

Works for me. 

It should be setting /dev/apm_bios to the most recent console or X
login. The idea is that the console users can suspend but not remote
users.

Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2004-06-28 21:21:00 UTC

It does appear to be in console.perms correctly.
