Public bug reported:
there is some system policy which wants to grant you don't restart/shut
down the machine while there is any other users logged in. when I have a
root shell open in an xterm (sudo su -) it sometimes asks for a password
sometimes doesn't ask for a password (always the same user, didn't
checked that I always want to do it). if there's no dialog to ask for my
password it simply shuts down/restarts the machine. If there is, and I
click cancel it just logs me out of my X session, which essentially
kills the corresponding root session (and I can restart/shut down the
machine from gdm without further questions). so in short this system
policy doesn't manage to enforce that I cannot restart/shut down the
machine while there's other users logged in.
