I have installed Mint 14 Mate 64bits on a machine that acts as a small server.
Very nice distro !
As I have several xdmcp clients connected to the main machine, I do not want that any normal user is able to shutdown the machine.
How can I do that ?
Thanks,
Olivier

Re: Suppres halt shutdown for normal users
Look at the xdm config files..

A little specific research for your desktop environment will find it

- However, you may prefer to set these options to None, in which case the shutdown button will not appear at all in the login window

Re: Suppres halt shutdown for normal users
Thanks for your reply.
I have succeed to suppress the halt-shutdown-... actions from the login window. That is ok.
But, when a user is logged in, in his main mint menu, he can shutdown all the system by simply click on the shutdown menu entry.
