Re: [gnome-slackware]Shuting down

[Gustavo Soares <gssouz yahoo com br>]

Hi!

Thanks for your help...

I´ve tried once give permission to all users execute
the shutdown command.. however it didn´t worked!

So that, I thought that I had to make something in

It seems, that I was wrong!! :)

Danke!
Gustavo
