Re: Hibernate once - resume many

Konstantin,

Are you sure that it enables the SE_SHUTDOWN_NAME privilege?
I think that this should work on principle if you have enough rights then
you can take SE_SHUTDOWN_NAME as we do when we want to reboot.

If we revoke that rights then you should not be able to associate
SE_SHUTDOWN_NAME right with your process token.
This should be tested or at least analyzed from doc I'm talking here from
head and it is 8:00 AM I'm too much dizzy to thinks straight.

Regards,
Slobodan
