I have Natty installed.

Howto allow shutdown/restart if other user logged in another terminal, for example using CTRL-ALT-DEL?

I've tried to add the following lines in /etc/sudoers:

user ALL=(root)NOPASSWD:/sbin/reboot user ALL=(root)NOPASSWD:/sbin/halt user ALL=(root)NOPASSWD:/sbin/shutdown

and

sudo chmod 750 /sbin/shutdown

sudo chmod 750 /sbin/reboot

or

create /etc/shutdown.allow

but it doesn't help and I still get Gnome login mask.
