AFAIK Slim isn't offering remote X session through XDMCP; therefore
the shutdown command, even implemented as a fake login can only be
executed by a person in front of the computer, a person who could as
well push the power button.
Of course it would be different if there was a true "shutdown" user
with the login command being "shutdown -h now".
