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, Chanop -- ,-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Chanop Silpa-Anan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | Australian National University | | Tel. +61 2 6279 8826, +61 2 6279 8837 (office hour) | | +61 2 6249 5240 (home +voice mail) | | Debian GNU Hurd ICQ uin 11366301 | `-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
