folks,
here's summary of a session on my mandrake8.2 machine:

<snip>

[user@localhost] which poweroff
/sbin/poweroff

[user@localhost] ls -l `which poweroff`
lrwxr-xr-x    1 root     root            4 Mar 28 15:51 /sbin/poweroff
-> halt*

[user@localhost] ls -l /sbin/halt
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         7720 Feb 23 01:17 /sbin/halt*

</snip>


yet,

<snip2>

[user@localhost] /sbin/poweroff

poweroff: must be superuser.

</snip2>


just to confirm,

<snip3>

[root@localhost] chmod 755 /sbin/halt

</snip3>

but still,

<snip4>

[user@localhost] /sbin/poweroff

poweroff: must be superuser.

</snip4>

what can be the reason? am i making a silly mistake?

someone hit me with a clue-by-4.

- t.
