I believe you need to look at this form a different view point. From a
security standpoint the "system" doesn't know who is trying to log into
it. So why should it(the code) allow just anyone the ability to halt or
reboot.

I'm not set up to check this, but best guess it it looking for the user's
password it the name was already entered or more likely it is looking
for the "root" password to preform these two operations.

As I said, I'm not set up to check this.
