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?
