My suggestion is to set up gdm/kdm to allow shutting down from the display manager. That way when your son is done using gnome/kde, he can log out and shut down from there. There were other suggestions floating around about messing with various security settings, etc that, to be perfectly honest, I didn't pay much attention to. :) -Alex On Tue, 2002-02-19 at 00:32, Lars Jensen wrote: > What is the best way to allow a regular user to issue the shutdown > (or halt) command?
