If the system *is* intentionally configured (whether by default or by customization) to disallow mortal users to shutdown or reboot the system, it should not "hang", but produce a friendly error message informing the user they are not allowed to do that. If it does not do that, it seems like a usability bug which should be reported. I see that Bug 495326 was closed; after updating and relabeling, are you still experiencing this problem and getting AVC denials? If so, I would open a new bug if there isn't another one already. It does not sound like a rational default configuration if you are not allowed to reboot the system as a normal user, but to get around that restriction, you simply need to log out. IMO, that would be a separate problem which should also be reported if that's the behavior you are seeing with the default configuration. -B. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
