Although I don't know how it works, I will point out that wdm has the
Halt, Reboot, and Exit login functions which do exactly what appears to
be desired. As it turns out only root can actuallly use any of the three
options. I do not know if it can be modified to allow a group or list of
users to do the same. But the underlying code could prove useful.
Good Luck
