how allow shutdown for non-root users ?

Hi,

I have a problem with my xfce 4.2.3 : i can't shutdown my computer if I am not root. "shutdown" and "reboot" ar inactive. How allaw shutdown for non-root user ?

Sorry for my bad english. If you don't understand me but you understand french, this is the translation :

Bonjour,

J'ai un problème avec mon cfce 4.2.3. Les options "éteindre l'ordinateur" et "redémarrer l'ordinateur" sont grisées (inactive) si l'on est pas root. Comment les activer pour les utilisateurs de base ?

Thank you if you will help me (merci d'avance : i can't translate it perfectly)

Floréal.

You can find solution in xfce wiki:

I have used the sudo method with success.
