Hmmmm. That's a different matter then. My computer is turned off every day as well because my roommate cannot stand if it is running at night. But I'm there so I always can turn it off. I have not thought the matter over, obviously. from this perspective, your solution very much makes sense. What I said is that one should be very careful in configuring packages to be sudo but that said there are circumstances when it is necessary. The M$ style shutdown idea is coooool, although some actually practice it in our dorm as well and don't even know that it is bad...

:-)))))) That's the result when I speak w/o thinking... yep. Obviously a bug or config error inside my head. Has happened before as well. A fix, anyone?:-)))))

That aside, I was only considering single-user environments and LANs where normal users cannot access the console anyway. That's because I was drawing on my prevoius experience here at the dorm where only these environments seem to occur:-) At home my family still uses Winsssssuxxx so it is not a problem. Maybe I will bring in some change this summer...but my machine was more urgent because it actually has Net access so I can utilize FreeBSD's full potential.
