The relevant file (/etc/pam.d/poweroff[reboot]) looks like this

#auth       required    /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth

uncommenting the third line will prompt the user to give the root
password before it carries out the operation.

Alternatively, commenting the line back in should allow users to access KPPP, 
for example, without the root password? I'm trying to emulate in RH what I 
can do in Mandrake and Slackware.

I can activate KPPP from the command line only if I deliberately avoid 
consolehelper - /usr/sbin/kppp instead of /usr/bin/kppp->consolehelper
(/usr/sbin/kppp has SUID set.)

Do I need to restart a daemon somewhere? It's not working yet.
