To clarify: The rule in that file tests for group membership. Even if your user is a member of your user's group, it does not imply that this "magically" permits him to shut down the system. The user must be a member of a group that is allowed to shut down the system (usually wheel or operator), and the rule needs to test for _that_ group. At least that's how I understand this mechanism... -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
