Try this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/allow_users_to_shutdown , I think you might be happy with it. I don't have systemd personally so I don't have any experience with it. From what I read on the wiki, this will be an easy fix. Instead of using users in the "Users without sudo privileges" section, I think you can also use groups without the hostname. All you would have to do is make a group that you would like to be able to shutdown or whatever with the computer. -- Willie Matthews matthews.willi...@gmail.com (702) 659-9966
