It's consolehelper (and, as you mentioned, consequently PAM).  Or, 
simply setuid halt/reboot/power-off; I believe the setting it detected 
at run-time, not compile-time.  I looked at this once long ago when 
trying to make a Slackware machine turn off without logginging in as 
root, and I believe the relevant code was in the gnome-session module.
