Further testing has revealed that 'poweroff' works fine.  'halt' fails 
to power down for both user and root, and 'shutdown -h now' is 
restricted to root but works.

When I installed FC4 I set SELinux to 'warn' to see what it did not like 
about the system.  I have since disabled it.

/etc/security/console.apps has a file 'halt' containing:
FALLBACK=true

Relevant?

For now I have made 'halt' an alias of 'poweroff' (easier to type...).

Thanks
