Hi there,
I was wondering if there was a way to reboot NetBSD if someone wants to
do it at the console. For example, Linux has this implementation in the
/etc/inittab file that allows one to reboot the machine by hitting ctrl-alt-
delete. This is like an alias to the shutdown -r now command.
Is there a way i can do something similar for NetBSD? I want to allow local
users to reboot, but I don't really want to give away the root password...
Eric
