Paul,

Ah, I forgot to look at that man page.

You'll want to replace "localhost" with either "ALL" or the exact hostname of the machine in question, e.g.,
%users ALL=/sbin/shutdown -h now

As this will be on only one machine ALL will do.

Can I set an alias so when she exits X11 to a console all she needs to type
is
sudo halt
and this will invoke /sbin/shutdown -h now? Gotta' keep in simple here.

Thanks,

Rich
