Hello, > So that the system shuts down - a non-root call to /sbin/shutdown > fails. Yes, and that's why I am asking: I do not want any non-root user to shut down or restart the machine. So, I want to know what is done to gain root privileges and how I can prevent that (by a script, not by any GUI stuff).
