For some reason NOPASSWD on a single command didn't change anything for me on Slackware, I was only ever able to get it to work with NOPASSWD:ALL which is too permissive for my taste these days. I'll try this line however, maybe it will work with /sbin/shutdown (which is where that program is located on Slackware).
