Don't forget you login is as root or whoever.. but you can only issue a halt command as root. That should be done from the command line after exiting X. If you are logged in as someone else say "barnard" then you can go: "su root" and you can then halt. read the instructions on creating a new user by the "adduser" command. go: man adduser EC<:-}

I would also like to add to EC's description of shutting down that you can shut down without ever logging into root, by typing "ctrl-alt-del" at the login prompt, or, more recently, from the "shutdown" item at the login screen in KDM :-) ObQuestion: Anyone ever get "IRQ DEADLOCK DETECTED BY CPU 0"? I run an smp kernel for a 2*pII/400 system, and it's done it a couple times exactly as I try to install a large collection of RPMs... mangles the entire filesystem, it's really scary. m
