I have to be root to run shutdown and halt. If I run it as any other
user, it asks for a password. I assume this is the root password, and
type it in. It waits for 1 second and returns to the shell prompt. No
shutdown, no restart, no error messages.
What is going on? I tried making the programs suid root, but no diff.
