RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
gdm should refuse to shutdown/reboot when other users are logged in and their password isn't provided

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gdm-2.30.4-39.el6.x86_64
polkit-0.96-2.el6_0.1.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. either of:
  - log in as root on tty[2-6], switch to GDM
  - log in as some user in gdm, use fast user switching to get back to gdm
2. in gdm, initiate shutdown (or reboot)
3.

Actual results:
shutdown is happily initiated

Expected results:
- password of other logged in users should be requested
- if the password is incorrect, shutdown should be refused

Additional info:
* not sure about correct behaviour when suspend (acpi s3 or s4) is requested
* the requested behaviour is consistent with gnome behaviour
