assigning roles to users for shutting down a computer

[rkollu]

sir,
I would like to create a user who can shutdown the machine
(other than root) except nothing. In solaris 2.5 etc duplicate uid
with "0" is allowd and also any shell script can be the shell for the
user. kindly let me know how at assign roles for users for specific
purposes.

I would suggest using sudo; [url]http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/[/url]. It would be
nice to write them a "friendly" shell script too..


(yes, this can be done using roles under Sol8 up... any takers)
