Hi folks, I would like to have a group of people on my machine being able to reboot/halt/shutdown without having to su root. The only solution I have seen before is to chgrp the executables halt and reboot into this group and making them suid (both check for EUID being zero, I believe, so the second step seems necessary). I would like you to advise me - if there is a better solution - what security issues will give me trouble with the above way (SUID always rings alarm bells for me...) Thanks in advance!
