Really? Isn't HAL obsoleted yet? As far as I know, it's not
even part of the default packages anymore... but you're correct
regarding the strange *kit XML rules. You also need to pay
attention to specific group memberships.

Here is some information:

https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/16916/

A more genral approach (for all users) can be followed by
editing /usr/local/etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf like this:

	<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.shutdown">
		<return result="yes"/>
	</match>
	<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.reboot">
		<return result="yes"/>
	</match>

This can also be found in the discussion mentioned. I remember
that I did something similar required by Gnome...
