Sudo and the /etc/sudoers file aren't just for granting users full root access.

You can edit the sudoers file with an existing sudo user, with the command sudo visudo

You can group the commands that you want to grant access to like below:

Cmnd_Alias SHUTDOWN_CMDS = /sbin/poweroff, /sbin/halt, /sbin/reboot
Cmnd_Alias UPDATE_COMMANDS = /usr/bin/apt-get
You can then give a specific user privileges to those commands like so:

[User's name] ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: SHUTDOWN_CMDS, UPDATE_COMMANDS

SOCKS servers are a form of proxy that are commonly used in firewalled LAN environments to allow access between networks, and often to the Internet. The problem is that most applications don't know how to gain access through SOCKS servers. This means that network based applications that don't understand SOCKS are very limited in networks they can reach. An example of this is simple 'telnet'. If you're on a network firewalled from the internet with a SOCKS server for outside access, telnet can't use this server and thus can't telnet out to the Internet.
