Tried playing with telinit. It seems that telinit is civilized enough that
it will only want a user to be superuser, not necessarily root. I thought
sudo when set to all=(all) all would make you superuser , but apparently
not in a way that telinit or shutdown likes.

This is when ssh can come in useful - ssh encrypts sessions so you don't
have to send stuff across the network. Shutdown checking specifically for
the root user by name is broken too. That wants filing as a bug - Its plain
bad manners by the program.
shutdown actually just does nice warnings wrapped around "telinit 6"
