Hi all,
I couldn't figure out how to give a specific user access to shutdown/restart my worksation. The user is in the "wheel" group and I made a link

Code:

ln -sf /sbin/shutdown /home/username/bin

in the user's local bin directory but linux complains too many levels of symbolic links. :evil:

:evil:

What can I do???
