I want to be able to shutdown (or restart) my system without having to enter my password. My /etc/doas.conf looks like this and my user is in the wheel group permit nopass :wheel as root cmd /sbin/poweroff permit nopass :wheel as root cmd /sbin/reboot permit :wheel I thought this would be enough so I can enter $ poweroff but I get the message > poweroff: must be superuser. when I do $ doas poweroff I still have to enter my password. How can I configure doas so that my user can poweroff or reboot without having to enter my password? And is it possible to configure it so that I don't have to enter doas at all?
