AFAIR the users in group "powerdev" are allowed to shut down.

I don't touch XML code in /usr.

There is nobody logged in but me. I wasn't asked for authentication
except at login time, either.

ck-list-sessions just exits with 0. No screen output.

What exactly do you mean by "session"? Sorry for asking, but the
consolekit package does not provide proper documentation. Esp.
ck-list-sessions does not provide a man page :-(.

I have the impression that this is some kind of mandatory scheme to
make consolekit working, so how comes that I could login on the
console without it?

I am not running systemd.


Any helpful comment would be highly appreciated.
