Greetings On centos 5, if I ssh in as a regular non-superuser account and go to the sbin dir to issue a reboot command, it wont do it as says you must be superuser If you are on the console logged in as a non-superuser account and do the same thing, it will reboot. Is this a feature, or a bug? - rh

I believe you can edit the appropriate entries in /etc/pam.d if you really want to change this. -- Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams <ivazqueznet at gmail.com> -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Not necessarily true. Lots of people use remote KVM's :) So just because someone has access to the console does not mean they have physical access to the server. -matt On 7/8/07, Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams <ivazqueznet at gmail.com> wrote:> On Sat, 2007-07-07 at 22:51 -0700, Robert - eLists wrote: > > Greetings > > > > On centos 5, if I ssh in as a regular non-superuser account and go to the > > sbin dir to issue a reboot command, it wont do it as says you must be > > superuser > > > > If you are on the console logged in as a non-superuser account and do the > > same thing, it will reboot. > > > > Is this a feature, or a bug? > > If you're at the console you can usually just push the reset or power > button *anyways*, so it's a non-bug.
