Because shutting down the system is normally only allowed for root, we 
disabled this by default, because with VDR any user can shut down the 
system. If root wants to allow the vdr-users to shut down, he must set 
ENABLE_SHUTDOWN=1 in /etc/default/vdr.

I don't think it would by wise to let VDR bypass security restrictions 
by default.

Normally there is an OSD message displayed, giving a hint why the 
shutdown does not work.
