Why would you want non privileged users to be able to shut down the
machine? Just curious.

Regards, Marshall

Hi ,
We are using AIX 5.2, on this non previlaged users are not able
to
shutdown the machine, what permissions are to be changed for the non
previlaged users to shutdown the machine. Thanks for your help in
advance.


If you really must have this functionality the best way to do it is
probably via sudo.
Adding the following to /etc/sudoers should work.

%group ALL=/sbin/shutdown

For the user to utilize the shutdown command they would type:

sudo /sbin/shutdown <options>
