Fact is you will get these options either if you have sudo and your user
account is authorized to shutdown / reboot (this is the fallback method
though) or if PolicyKit is configured (see
/usr/local/etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf) to allow shutdown/reboot.
Entries will look similar to these:
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.shutdown">
<match user="yourusername">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
</match>
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.reboot">
<match user="yourusername">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
</match>
Have a look at http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/halfaq.html for more
HAL fun ;)
