Enable reboot/shutdown (newbie question?)

[Brett I. Holcomb]

I found I had to have the following line in which I added

myuser ALL=/usr/libexec/xfsm-shutdown-helper, HALT, REBOOT, SHUTDOWNNOW

where

Cmnd_Alias      HALT = /usr/sbin/halt
Cmnd_Alias      KILL = /usr/bin/kill
Cmnd_Alias      REBOOT = /usr/sbin/reboot
Cmnd_Alias      SHUTDOWN = /usr/sbin/shutdown
Cmnd_Alias      SHUTDOWNNOW = /usr/sbin/shutdown -h now

If I only had the /usr/libexec/... it wouldn't shutdown.  Once I added the 
rest it worked.
