This is just a note, came up in a user group.  YOU ALL SHOULD CHECK THIS OUT
ON YOUR SYSTEMS.  /sbin/halt (the file that shutdown and reboot point at)
has permission of 755 but unlike shutdown has no restriction for normal
users.  IE...anyone can shutdown the system whenever they feel like it.
Does anyone know the mechanism that actually restricts non-root users in the
shutdown command?  It also has permission set to 755.
