Re: [LUG] ubuntu group to allow power off

 
From memory (and it's not that great) but I seem to remember having a similar issue and I "think" I fixed it by editing the /etc/sudoers file , don't have my book of useful commands to hand but a quick Google and I came up with

%users ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/reboot

Http://help.Ubuntu.com/community/sudoers

Not sure if still relevant on the latest versions of Ubuntu, sorry

Anyone know what group she needs to be added to to power down?
