What to put in sudoers to shutdown from Xfce?

[Brett I. Holcomb]

Here's what I have

usernamehere ALL=/usr/libexec/xfsm-shutdown-helper, HALT, REBOOT, 
SHUTDOWNNOW

where HALT, REBOOT, and  SHUTDOWN are:

Cmnd_Alias      HALT = /usr/sbin/halt
Cmnd_Alias      KILL = /usr/bin/kill
Cmnd_Alias      REBOOT = /usr/sbin/reboot
Cmnd_Alias      SHUTDOWN = /usr/sbin/shutdown
Cmnd_Alias      SHUTDOWNNOW = /usr/sbin/shutdown -h now
