Without a display manager, some time in the last few months you now
seem to have to add permissions for shutdown and suspend to console kit.

Variations of .xinitrc no longer seem to have an effect. Linux hardly
has a clear and concise permission model these days increasing the
likelihood of an admin missing something. Sudo or even RBAC are easier
to be sure of and so far atleast I don't see the argument/usefulness as
there are groups/secondary groups and DAC and sudo can be very powerful
and fine grained when used right and for Local/remote there is firewall
options,ssh options, tcpwrappers etc..
