Suspend and shutdown
by Uno Engborg
In FC5T3 all users have the menus "Shut down..." and "Suspend" in their
Gnome "Desktop" menu, and if they select it the shutdown or suspend
happens without asking the user for
a root password.
This is awful in multi user environments, or when remote desktops are used.
Is there some easy way of turning this off?
Is this the default Gnome 2.14 behavior?
At the very least the user shoould be prompted for a root or even better
a sudo password before he is allowed to do this. It also creates far
too many menu items in the Desktop menu that are very similar. The old
FC4 way of doing this was much better from a usability perspective.

entry on firewall log
by Don Bedsole
Hi all,
I've noticed on my firewall log a couple of tcp connection attempts (from
different IPs) with port 6000 as the source port on the remote host and port
7212 as the destination port on my box. Is there another application besides
XWindows that uses port 6000 and that someone would be using to try to
connect to me? I'm not concerned about, obviously my firewall is working.
But I thought if I asked, I might learn something. Thank you.
Also, a question about list etiquette. After someone answers your question,
is it ok to post a thank you message?
