user shutdown?



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Greetings:

I have never looked into this before, but is there a way that I (just a 
joeblow user) can shutdown my system without having to become root first?

I looked at man for shutdown, there isthe -a option.  I added my user to the 
/etc/shutdown.allow file, but that doesn't work.

I guess I could chown /sbin/shutdown, but that doesn't seem like the best way 
to do this.
