I want to allow my dad to shut down the router/gateway. I want to do
this by creating a login name "halt" that simply shuts down. I did
this by making /sbin/halt the shell. As I understand it, only root is
allowed to halt a system, so I made halt owned by root:halt with
permissions 4754. This works, but I am interested in comments on the
pros/cons of this setup. In addition, I want to disallow loggin in as
'halt' via ssh. How can I do that?
TIA,
-D
