What else would be needed aside from one line.  I discovered that
loginctl allows regular users to shutdown the system.  I can't have
that.  Such behavior does an end around the core unix security.  I tried
to remove elongd and it said X was a dependendcy.

can I do that and make it a package to admin with pacman?

Its been nearly a decade since I tore through gentoo.  Its not
relaistic.  What I need is a distro that is systemd free, and new
options are always looked at.

things look like they will get worse with wayland barking at the door.

for the momemnt I chmod 0000 loginctl, but the underlining design flaw
continues of giving root access to normal users though polykit etc
continues.

Maybe I can compile an x package that doesn't hook into councilkit et
al through gentoo.
