hi ya
Hi peolple Do you know how to do a Linux (clear) shutdown without root privileges from login screen? I want to give a user the privilege of shutdown the server without being root. I have heared about umount problems of the file system.
if they are in kde/gnom ... and you didnt change anything, they can shutdown like they would a windoze box kde(start)->logout->shutdown if they like console .... ctl-alt-F1 than ctl-alt-del if you like to work harder .. setup up with sudo for running either halt, shutdown or reboot or init 6 or gazillion other possibilities c ya alvin
