Hi

I have a strange problem in my F14. I have two users 1:Anish 2:student. I login as Anish all the time. From the last two days, I have noticed that, when I try to shutdown/restart, it says 'other users have logged in, so requires higher privilege (root) to shutdown" and I should enter the root password to shutdown. I have logged in only as Anish and got no idea which other user has logged into my machine. I didnt have this problem earlier. I installed KVM and have been using ssh with private/public keys between my host and virtual machine recently!

Regards,
Anish

I cant figure out which daemon is preventing it from shutting down. Any idea how to fix it?

Hi

student was the issue indeed. After the issue started, I did login as student and did a graceful shutdown but not all the daemons associated with the user student were terminated! I killed all the daemons started by student manually and its fine now!

Re: Logged in as a normal user but requires higher privilege (root) to shutdown/resta

Anish, please use [ CODE ] [ /CODE ] tags for pasting verbatim command output, instead of spreading long output over several posts. The "#" button can do this for you. This makes the thread much easier for the rest of us to follow.

I've fixed this one for you.
