I installed DSL-N RC4 to my hard drive using the "simplified HD install" procedure given elsewhere in this forum. I answered "y" to the muti-user question. I created a new user using the "Add User" function.

When I boot DSL-N from the hard drive and log in as my new user, and attempt to either reboot or shutdown using the Exit menu from the Fluxbox desktop, nothing happens.

I have no trouble rebooting or shutting down in this way if I boot from the hard drive and log in as "root".

I have no trouble rebooting or shutting down in this way if I boot from the CD-ROM and use the default user ("dsl"), which doesn't need a login.

Thankx in advance for any help.
