Root priviledges needed to poweroff

[ergodic]

Thanks for your reply Adam.
Why then reboot does not complain? Reboot executes immediatly.
All those directives  link to consolehelper or to systemctl, which should ask for authentication if another user is logged.

Those are IMHO some term started with root privileges. As soon as tehere 
is a anybody else logged except the user which is going to poweroff, then 
powerof complains about other user logged any - looks correct to me.
