Quoting Brad Campbell (lists2...@fnarfbargle.com):
This is one I find interesting. I've never used an operating system
where it was required to know root credentials to halt or reboot the
machine from the login screen.
Remember, Unix is a multiuser operating system, and also one supporting
both local and remote users, who would be annoyed by someone deciding to
cut them off.
Rick I completely understand that sentiment, and none of my servers have
a GUI on them. I just "assumed" (yeah, my mistake) that display managers
were used only on single user desktop machines.
Windows is a special case, well just because Windows has always been a
special case and it has taken Microsoft some 20 years to come to terms
with a GUI-less server.

Brad
