Although I think it would be a good thing not to rely on logind, please do not extend this crude and ugly sudo hack that BSD and Solaris users have to put up with, but replace xfsm-shutdown-helper with a small DBus service and use PolicyKit to authorize access to shutdown/suspend methods. xfsm-shutdown-helper should just go away, PolicyKit is nowadays available even on the BSDs and Solaris.
