_____________________________________

# /etc/sudoers
#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
#
# See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file.

Defaults        env_reset

# Host alias specification

# User alias specification

# Cmnd alias specification

# User privilege specification
root    ALL=(ALL) ALL
user   ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/xfsm-shutdown-helper

user   ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/halt
user   ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/reboot

# Uncomment to allow members of group sudo to not need a password
