Thanks for the quick reply. So this is a remote login. That explains why you get the polkit prompt. As you can see, the admin password is asked for two distinct things: For setting a wall message and for the actual poweroff. Both require admin privileges. If you don't want to have the prompt for the wall message, use systemctl poweroff --no-wall That should only give you one polkit prompt. Afaics, everything is working as expected, although I have to admit that entering the credentials twice for the same command is a nuisance.
