I never had the problem before, I think it began with the installation 
on this computer, the only F-20 I have, others are F-19 and SL-6 and do 
not require password to shut down. I usually, but not always, shutdown 
from an XFCE GUI but I have a vague recollection that it does the same 
from a terminal?

I checked the Admin box on install and it looks like the user/groups are 
set right unless there's something I don't know about [very likely]..

Bob.
