According to the man page for shutdown, I can create a file in /etc called
shutdown.allow with a user name per line to allow that user to shutdown
the system. I have created said file and added the user I want to be able
to shut down as to it, but if I run "/sbin/shutdown -r now" it says that
only root can shut the system down. I can chmod +s shutdown and then a
normal user can shut the system down, but I only want this one user to be
able to do so. How can I get around this? Thanks.
