From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0) Description of problem: I am not sure if this is a RedHat-dependant "bug" really, but here it goes...I discovered that on my RH 7.1-system I could type reboot in console as an ordinary user and reboot, on my one-person system this doesn't really matter, however in a networkenviroment this causes concerns in my opinion. I did not change the default settings for the rights for the command. This makes me wonder if this should set to this as default in Redhat or if it has been changed or will be changed in future releases. I agree this might not be a bug directly related to Redhat but it would perhaps be worth looking in to. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a console window as an ordinary user 2. Type reboot 3. Actual Results: The computer reboots Expected Results: In my opinion it should not reboot when you type reboot as an ordinary user, an ordinary user should be priviliged by default to do so Additional info:
This is a normal use of pam_console.
