I have a dual boot SunOS 4.1.4 and Solaris 2.7 machine which we sell to a 
customer which will need to remove the /etc/ethers file in order to reboot 
the system when new gpib info needs to be loaded.  I have editted the 
shadow and/or passwd file to allow users to halt the system using the halt 
UID.  Can't figure out how to allow rm of /etc/ethers changed permissions 
to 777.  Can't use sudo (Boss doesn't want to) as we want to keep things 
as simple as possible, users will have very limited knowledge of unix. Any 
ideas.  Thanks.


 Doug
