Hi all,
There are only 2 useable tools by "operator" group members:
shutdown (and its child: poweroff, halt, etc=85) and mksnap_ffs.
On my HAL-less laptop, I've put my user in the operator group that let
me reboot/power-off it with shutdown.
But I would to be able to suspend-resume it too (with zzz).
Here is what I've did:
for f in "/usr/sbin/acpiconf /usr/sbin/apm"; do
chown :operator $f
chmod 4550 $f
done
What about configuring this permission by default on FreeBSD ?
And why /sbin/reboot isn't useable by operator too ?
Are there somes security issue ?
Regards,
Olivier
