We use "wdm" here as well and there's really no password needed to
shutdown given proper configuration based on some basic RTFM.  Here's
the relevant excerpt from my own configuration:

--------- snip -----------------
! /etc/X11/wdm/wdm-config
!

  [ most stuff deleted ]

DisplayManager*wdmReboot:       /sbin/reboot
DisplayManager*wdmHalt:         /sbin/halt
DisplayManager*wdmVerify:       false
DisplayManager*wdmRoot:         false
DisplayManager*wdmAnimations:   false
--------- snip -----------------

There's a good man page for "wdmLogin" besides the one for "wdm".

                                 HTH, P. *8^)
