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. Additional info:
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.
It does appear to be in console.perms correctly.
