Hello,

I'm running Ubuntu Edgy and I want to give myself permission to halt my system 
without using sudo and a password. I've added the following to /etc/sudoers 
using visudo:

mark    localhost = NOPASSWD: /sbin/halt

But still I get a message that I 'need to be root'. Can someone help?

Also, do changes to /etc/sudoers become effective immediately, or do I need to 
restart something to make my system recognize them?

Thanks!
