Hi List, 

what is the shutdown user ready-made in the passwd file good for? 
- to be able to shut down, isn't it? 

So this is what I tried (in RHEL): 
"login:" > shutdown, 
"enter password:" so I did.   
what I get is: "you have to be root to do that. 

It sounds like the system misunderstands my answer to the login prompt
as a command
or - as the Germans would say: do I have tomatoes on my eyes (not to see
something 
I should)? 

Answers will be highly appreciated ... 

regards
Anna
