Description of problem:

When "poweroff", "reboot" or "halt" is invoked from the /usr/bin/ directory, the comand is sent to "systemctl" via a link to "consolehelper".

When the command is invoked from the /usr/bin/ directory it is passed directly to "systemctl".

Thus I expected /usr/bin/poweroff to ask for authentication and /usr/sbin/poweroff execute immediatly.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

systemd-44-17.fc17.x86_64



How reproducible: All the time.


Steps to Reproduce:

Creat keyboard shortcuts as follows:

         Key      Command
         "Alt r"   /usr/bin/reboot 
         "Alt s"   /usr/sbin/poweroff

Test 1
1. Powered off and re-start box.
2. Log User.
3. Punch "Alt s".

Test 2
1. Powered off and re-start box.
2. Log User.
3. Punch "Alt r".

Actual results:
Test 1: Request for Administrator Authentication snipet displayed.
Test 2: An immediate reboot was executed.

Expected results:
Test 1: The system was expected to power off immediatly.
Test 2: The system was expected to request for Administrator Authentication
