My shutdown.allow file is:
"james
jim
root"
but only root can issue the shutdown command. When I try it as either other
user I get the error "bash: shutdown: command not found"

My inittab file contains the line
"ca::ctrlaltdel:logout"
but pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del does nothing.
I'm running Mandrake 6.0 on a Toshiba 480cdt laptop.
