There are different ways... One way is to use "sudo". Some people like it, others are scared of it. Read the acrhives and you decide for yourself. Refer to the current thread about shared root. Here is another way... edit /etc/inittab. There is a line: ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -r now change it to: ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -h now Then if you walk up to the console an hit CONTROL-ALT-DELETE it will shutdown (if X isn't running). Not elegant, but it works, and doesn't introduce any new security issues. -- Thank you, Joe Bouchard Powered by Debian GNU/Linux
