OK well it's not an ordinary shutdown problem.
Basically when my computer is on and I'm not in and my mum or dad want to go out for a bit they turn off the computers, except they can't shut mine down properly because they have to log in to shut it down (as far as I know). So instead they switch it off at the wall socket every time.
So far this hasn't caused any noticable problems, although when I start it it says it's fixing errors and stuff. I'm using ext2 file system.
Is there a way I can create a user that is just allowed to shut the system down? Or Linux be shut down without a password?
Thanks in advance.
