Is there any similar facility for Linux running native in an LPAR? I tried
granting an ID 'All' access using sudo, but shutdown insists on being
called by the root ID and likewise, I don't wanna sent the root password
across the network.

We use secondary users, prop scripts, and a custom shell running on the
console, here.
Heres the "shell" to run on the console for your linux/390 guests:
http://reason.marist.edu/patches/bootshell-1.3.cc
Then you just "SEND" it "halt" text from the secuser, and the operators
never
need know your root passwords, and they never need t be in plaintext in a
script.
Of course, there are other ways, which may suit your needs more.
