Brian,
I've never needed this so I'm not sure if this will work. But have you
tried going into linuxconf and under users click on a user and then grant
him/her permission to reboot using control/alt/defeat :) It should work
for you, as I said I haven't tried it but according to the doc's it's
supposed to take care of that for you.
