Re: user shutdown?

For example using sudo, gnome-sudo, gksu, super or any other of these
utilities.
Ctrl+Alt+Del in the console is very nice, too.
As are the "halt" options in gdm, where users can easily halt the system
when they have logged off...

I also have configured the power button of my notebook accordingly,
using ACPI. Don't know if you can do that with APM.
