Allowing unprivileged users to use some router functions



Hello,

  For  a  while, I have been a happy user of IPcop firewall. Recently,
  however,  I  decided to try a different approach and to run OpenBSD
  as a firewall/router instead.

  Now, with IPcop and its easy-to-use Web-interface, it was quite easy
  to  teach  a  computer novice how to bring the PPP connection up and
  down  and also to shut down the firewall machine altogether, when no
  Internet  connection  was  needed.  How can I do the same thing with
  OpenBSD?  How  can I make it really simple for such computer newbies
  to  log  into  the  router machine, bring up the ppp connection, and
  then to switch it off and shut down the machine?

  Thank you very much in advance for any help.
