Yes, but I've been in the situation with a remote machine where GDM |
| 29 |
will load but XFCE4 won't and I need the machine rebooted manually by |
| 30 |
a local user. There's always the power button but that killed a |
| 31 |
machine of mine just a few days ago. SLiM will reboot or shutdown if |
| 32 |
you enter reboot or shutdown for the username and the root password, |
| 33 |
but it doesn't seem to work if you use the password of a user with |
| 34 |
rights to reboot or shutdown. I just tried it. |
