In order to make the ServerPowerControl plugin shutdown my server, I
have to edit the /etc/sudoers file. This can be done by the command
visudo.

I changed some lines in the file into:

# Uncomment to allow people in group squeezecenter to run all commands
%squeezecenter ALL=/sbin/shutdown*

# Same thing without a password
%squeezecenter ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

This works fine but I wonder if this creates a serious security issue.
Can the user squeezecenter give all commands or just the
/sbin/shutdown*?
In case it is, is there a better way of doing this?
