You wrote you clicked on the button on the left to power off the terminal. Ehmm... I was not aware of the login screen having any option to shutdown the terminal, but rather the server. Which would of course explain why the clients cannot boot any more, after clicking on that button. The server should just shutdown, as if you did the same click right on the server machine. You should configure your login manager (gdm with gdmconfig, or kdm through the KDE control center, or in the appropriate configuration files) to not allow system shutdown from remote computers or non-root-users. And, please, just turn off the terminals with their power button, if they have any, not via software. This is exactly how it is meant, however long year of windows-training might have spoilt the idea of just turning off the machine sitting on your desk.
