Bug Description
Currently localapps support allows the user to start softwares installed in the thin client chroot, these are then started as the user and not as root.
In order to remotely trigger a reboot or shutdown, the attached patch on /etc/sudoers allows the user to start /sbin/shutdown as root. It may also be interesting to alow the user to eject the cdrom remotely (we could then find a way to make use of it from gnome).
