I want a regular user to be able to mount removeable media and shutdown

With the usual permission settings, you are also allowing them to read
disks directly (e.g. with dump(8)), and thus to read any file on the
system -- including the system's and other users' private key files.
Good point, thanks
One alternative is sudo.
There are some notes somewhere about setting up a group and setting
permissions in devfs.conf and devfs.rules which I have been using. I
thought maybe using operator would be more convenient. Doing my own
setup is fiddly but I know what they are allowed. And sudo for shutting
down works fine.
Thanks for the reply.
Chris
