Wang,
Use vi to create a file (as root) called /etc/shutdown.allow. Put
the users name (account names) in this file that you wish to allow
rebooting. Change the line in /etc/inittab file from (as root):
ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -h now
to:
ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -r now
This will allow the users in /etc/shutdown.allow to do a Ctrl-Alt-Del
and reboot the system.
The file /etc/shutdown.allow does not norally exists, you create it with
vi and put those users account names in there that you will allow to
reboot the system.
Another way is to do a su - enter the root password when asked then
/sbin/shutdown -r now
The line that says
