Yes. Have a look at the man pages etc. for "sudo". I've set my system up so
that it will allow execution of shutdown from my own account by adding the
line :
owen ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown
to the file /etc/sudoers - part of sudo-1.6.3p6-1mdk.
I was not to sure of the format, so if any one can point out any mistakes
please tell me !!!
