Re: rsh as root
I am fairly sure you could just create a script that had the shutdown
commands in it, then setuid the file (which is owned by root). Then you
should be able to run the file as a normal user except it would get
elevated to root privleges when ran. I don't have a beowulf in front of me
right now so i can't test it but i do remeber doing something simlar
before and having it work. For help with setuid and setguid check out the
man page for chmod.
