=>Here's a question for you folks.  
=>
=>I manage a system remotely for some people who are not terribly linux
=>(or really, computer) savvy.  When they need to move the server for
=>whatever reason, they just hit the power button to shut it off.  
=>
=>Obviously, this is not preferable.
=>
=>What I'd like to do is to give them a user account that causes the
=>system to go into shutdown mode when logged into.
=>
=>This is on a Debian Woody box.
=>
=>Any thoughts on ways I can accomplish this?

How about sudo?
