<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Hi,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I was wondering if there is a possibility
to call “systemctl poweroff” as non-root user in this scenario:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Theoretically there is no other way, am I
right?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>But what about CAP_SYS_BOOT? Does the
systemctl shouldn’t verify if this capability is set and allow non-root
user to shut down the system?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
