Did you try adding UserName ALL= NOPASSWD: /sbin/reboot As the last line of their /etc/sudoers files? (replacing UserName with their actual user name, of course.) That should grant them root access to only the /sbin/reboot command (add more commands using comma delimiting). Then they just run $ sudo reboot If you want to require they enter their own password before rebooting, use the line UserName ALL=/sbin/reboot Instead. Use of sudo is recorded in /var/log/secure, if I recall correctly. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
