[Mageia-dev] halt and shutdown users: Still needed?

Hi,
+
+So there exists two users (provided by default from the setup pkg)
+called "halt" and "shutdown". These users just run the halt and shutdown
+commands as their shell. This means su'ing or sudo'ing or setting a
+password and logging in as them, will shut the machine down.
+
+This seems like a relic from many years ago and there is no need to
+include such users in this day and age. Should we kill them off?
