I run Xfce 4.2.3.2 and want to be able to shut down my system from |
2 |
within X. At the moment I have to log in as root and then issue a |
3 |
shutdown command, but Xfce is supposed to support doing this through |
4 |
the GUI. |
5 |
|
6 |
Looking around turned up the Xfce documentation and specifically |
7 |
<http://www.xfce.org/documentation/docs-4.2/xfce4-session.html#xfsm-shutdown>, |
8 |
which says I need sudo and the right to execute xfsm-shutdown-helper |
9 |
as root. OK, so I emerged app-admin/sudo and added the following line |
10 |
at the end of /etc/sudoers using visudo: |
11 |
|
12 |
%wheel vuk=/usr/libexec/xfsm-shutdown-helper NOPASSWD |
13 |
|
14 |
(Those are tabs.) My system is named vuk, I am a member of the wheel |
15 |
group, and /etc/hosts says: |
16 |
|
17 |
vuk ~ # grep vuk /etc/hosts |
18 |
127.0.0.1 vuk.kjorling.com vuk localhost |
19 |
::1 ip6-localhost vuk ip6-loopback |
20 |
vuk ~ # |
21 |
|
22 |
Still, trying "sudo /usr/libexec/xfsm-shutdown-helper" from the |
23 |
command line gives me: |
24 |
|
25 |
michael@vuk ~ $ sudo /usr/libexec/xfsm-shutdown-helper |
26 |
Password: (trying the root password) |
27 |
Sorry, try again. |
28 |
Password: (^C) |
29 |
sudo: 1 incorrect password attempt |
30 |
michael@vuk ~ $ sudo /usr/libexec/xfsm-shutdown-helper |
31 |
Password: (trying my own password) |
32 |
Sorry, user michael is not allowed to execute '/usr/libexec/xfsm-shutdown-helper' as root on vuk. |
33 |
michael@vuk ~ $ |
34 |
|
35 |
...and the options to shut down or reboot are still grayed out in the |
36 |
Xfce quit dialog box. |
37 |
|
38 |
I checked /etc/group and did not find any obvious group I should add |
39 |
myself to (say, `sudoers' or something like that). I use PAM and |
40 |
/etc/pam.d/sudo (autogenerated) uses system-auth for auth, account, |
41 |
password and session. |
42 |
|
43 |
Am I missing something here? |
