<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=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
lang=EN-US><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>1.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>      
</span></span></span><![endif]><span lang=EN-US> I have no PolicyKit on my
system, so I get access denied.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
lang=EN-US><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>2.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>      
</span></span></span><![endif]><span lang=EN-US>Calling with “-f”
parameter also fails, with “Must be root” error.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</span></span></span><![endif]><span lang=EN-US>I’d like to avoid using “sudo”.<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>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Best regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
