Just to expand on my earlier answer the default sudoers' file looks like this

Code Sample
# sudoers file.




root    ALL=(ALL) ALL

knoppix ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL
dsl ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL


This means dsl can run anything using sudo with no password. You could change it to something like this:

Code Sample
# sudoers file.

Cmnd_Alias      SHUTDOWN = /usr/sbin/shutdown
Cmnd_Alias      HALT = /usr/sbin/halt
Cmnd_Alias      REBOOT = /usr/sbin/reboot

root    ALL=(ALL) ALL
dsl ALL=NOPASSWD: SHUTDOWN,HALT,REBOOT


This allows dsl to use sudo to shutdown/reboot without a password but restricts any other commands.

If you want to know more about the sudoers file try the sudoers' manual
