	I suggest a different approach. Still lon /etc/inittab, you
can put another entry, for the keyboard request:

kb::kbrequest:/sbin/shutdown -h -a -t0 now

	The '-a' option tells shutdown to use an authorization file
at /etc/shutdown.allow. In this file, you put the usernames you want
to be allowed to reboot/halt the machine. 
	When logged in, press Alt+<UpArrow> to halt the system with
the Keyboard Request.
