Why do you need you friend to reboot your machine? Usually inittab is
configured so that ctrl-alt-delete will reboot. But if you trap that, you have
to give your friends your root privilage to do a reboot :) just kidding.
You can give them some privilage through sudo! I use it and recommend it. It
seems that there are some more package other than sudo that will do the job,
ie IIRC super, calife. But I haven't used them, so can't comment.
hope this help,
