OK I have been using Gnome for years with Red Hat and never needed to use
sudo before. I understand I need sudo to shutdown my system with Xfce. For
some reason my brain cannot latch onto the correct entries I need to put
in the sudoers file to allow one user to perform a simple shutdown -h now.
I tried "userName localhost=/sbin/shutdown -h now", this makes the reboot
and turn off computer options active but then it asks my pasword and
denies my shuting down the system anyway. I'm at a loss.
Thanks,
Brett
