I used that Linux Conf to add the feature to shutdown as user but it does not seem to work so I tried doing what you suggested but that does not work either?

You can actually change this default behaviour - someone posted about it a long while ago but I cannot remember it now. You cannot do this over the network, I think. As that will reset your local machine. The easiest way to do it, IMHO is to make a small script containing this line: su -c /sbin/halt save it (as say, "halt") and make the script executable [chmod +x myfile] and copy it into your /home/myhome/ directory. Now, typing "halt" will ask for your root password, once entered, it will immediately shutdown your machine in the proper manner. You could also replace the /halt with /reboot for rebooting. Or...if you somehow do not have the halt and reboot commands (scripts) in your /sbin, you can write: su -c "/sbin/shutdown -r now" instead. The " are required since you are passing arguments and need to separate with a space...uhm...you know what I mean, right? :-P Regards, -- -- Kuraiken - Apprentice Codecaster & Python breeder --

On Fri, 07 May 1999, you wrote: > Tried it and it does not work here > Jeanette That is because the shutdown command is not available for su root, as the standard su root path doesn't include /sbin. I would recommend putting a symlink maybe in the /usr/bin or somewhere where the path is on the su root. To find out what the path is, do an echo $PATH and put the symlink in one of the directories that it spews out to you. That should work.

I accomplished that feat issuing the "chmod u+s /sbin/shutdown" Now my regular user as well as root can perform system shutdown. There's also some functions under Linuxconf, that allows you to assign shutdown priviledges to regular users, but it never worked for me while using Redhat Linux v5.1, so I used the above procedure to accomplish it. Probably not the best way to do it, but it works. Stefan Dozier [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you want user lyn to have temporary root access, simply type su at the command prompt, then enter the root password. -- Meanie

[newbie] Other user except root can shutdown server?
Hi: I have added a user named "lyn" as group of root. But the command of "shutdown" cannt be used by "lyn". How to assign the right of root to "lyn". Thanks! John l.yn
