chown root:wheel /sbin/halt chmod 4550 /sbin/halt usermod -G wheel userid "userid" is your userid on the system. You may need to replace "wheel" with a different group; I chose it because, at least on my system, the only other member is "root." (I prefer to use "sys" or "adm," but those tend to have "bin" and "daemon" as members.) You really shouldn't do it this way. You really ought to use sweep or one of the other tools (*shudder* sudo) to do it. But you're probably fairly safe if: (1) /sbin/halt is a binary, not a shell script; (2) you are the only one besides root in the wheel group; (3) it's not world-executable (!!); and (4) both your password and root's are well-chosen and secure.
