Hello, I would like 'normal users' to be able to issue the shutdown command. For that reason I modified the 'sudoers' file and I uncommented the last line which now reads:* * *%users localhost=/sbin/shutdown -h now* However that didn't work. Then I thought maybe the users above refer to some user defined group called 'users. So I first created a group called 'users' and added 'masud' (one of my users) to that group. Still No luck.. Then I read a bit about how does one actually add stuff to that file and added(appended) the following to the file:* masud ALL=/sbin/shutdown -h now* Well..nothing yet..I always log in as as 'masud' and try to see if shutdown works (by issuing *shutdown -h now* from his account) and I get */sbin/shutdown: Permission denied * Well..How do I go about it... Please do let me know. Hope to hear from you soon, Best Regards, Aijaz Baig.
