Shutdown -a refuses to read shutdown.allow. Irritating, and I'd like help before I set up some shell script involving sudo or su. I have installed PAM, could that be the problem? However I don't think the sysvinit shutdown uses PAM, so how do I fix this?
Also, where can I find a tarball for the redhat consolehelper program? I can install an RPM, but most of them seem distribution specific and seem like they would need some tinkering to work.
I suppose I could just suid halt and shutdown, and I have been a little too paranoid in installing PAM on a computer that only I use, and then some other crypto.

Anything worth the cost of a missile, which can be located on the battlefield, will be shot at with missiles. If the US military is involved, then things, which are not worth the cost if a missile will also be shot at with missiles. -Sea Skimmer

Nevermind, found consolehelper. It's in the usermode package. No readme files whatsoever in this package though...
