I do not want to allow my desktop to shutdown/restart/hibernate without authentication. How can I achieve this? I am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with unity. Most of the questions previously asked involved asking the opposite thing. I need help as I am a newbie. Thanks in advance.

  • Do you mean you want the computer to ask for your password in order to carry a shutdown/restart/hibernate command? Oct 3, 2013 at 0:06

You wanna deny users to shutdown\hibernate eg. the system from the GUI or terminal?

This should give you a hint of how to remove it from the login\switch-user GUI if that is your consern. You could also do something like this, but it is to dirty if you ask me.

If the sudo shutdown eg is your concern? you should really rethink your design and do some extensive research on how sudo work.
