Fedora 20 requires a password to shutdown. This is something new, I've used Redhat and/or Fedora Linux for a long time and never had this requirement. I am the sole user of this computer and see it as an annoyance, more so when rebooting than for shutting down at night.

How do I fix this?

Bob

Hmm,.......do you mean in the GUI?...or from the Terminal? because I have shut-down my F20 machine and never had to type anything. (I've never tried it from the Terminal though.....so it might actually be that you need to type on in order to shut down.)

I never had the problem before, I think it began with the installation on this computer, the only F-20 I have, others are F-19 and SL-6 and do not require password to shut down. I usually, but not always, shutdown from an XFCE GUI but I have a vague recollection that it does the same from a terminal?

I checked the Admin box on install and it looks like the user/groups are set right unless there's something I don't know about [very likely]..

Bob.

Haven't gone through all of it, but maybe this might help?.....not sure which version its for.....I'm just running out, and will check back later to see how it went!
