Is there a way to allow any user (or any user of a certain group) to reboot shutdown or hibernate the system? I'm wanting to do this so I don't have to su before I run the command. I've tried moving files around and changing permissions but no luck. Any help would be much appreciated.

sudo - make users suspend, too

if there is physical access to linux box you can bind power button to execute hibernate. Read more "ACPI configuration - use your power button to suspend"
