Shutting down as user

[Wood, Russell]

I didn't the proposed solution so if it's the same, I apologize. You
could always add the user to the Operators group, which would then grant
them permissions to shutdown/reboot.

Regards,
Russell

Other than already proposed solution, given that you are the only
person sitting near the machine & working power management, a press
of the power button should cleanly shut down the computer.

At least that is what happens on/with FreeBSD 6.x, with ACPI
enabled, on my IBM Thinkpad T42 when I am feeling lazy enough to
avoid typing "shutdown -p now".
