Re: How to Shutdown as a normal user?

[Teuchteu <teuchteu_linux_user@yahoo.fr>]

I created a user with root privileges who just makes a shutdown -h now 
(Well i edit the /etc/passwd file to launch a script that shut down the 
computer). We wave the same at work on Unix platform (we don't have root 
privelege :((
I'm sure it's far to be the best solution, but it is simple, and easy...
