Hello Ned,

I run FreeBSD 5.3 on my home PC in a stand alone machine as a desktop. Is it
possible to set it up so an ordinary user can shut the system? I've created

you can add the user to the operator group. it is possible to run

You could also create a shutdown user with a login shell pointing to a
