Re: [CentOS] Allowing non-root users to reboot a workstation

I would like to be able to allow regular users that don't have admin privileges to be able to reboot their workstation. (they're software developers so rebooting their workstation doesn't affect anybody else)

I tried changing the ownership of /sbin/reboot and /sbin/shutdown to root:users and permissions to 550, but that didn't work - it's still asking for root privileges.

Possibly the problem might be that there's centralized LDAP authentication, not local, so the changes I made only apply to local accounts?

Any suggestions?

Um, I take it that a three-finger kill doesn't work?
