How to let a user shut down?

[Joseph Key]

If you are using a graphical login (xdm/gdm/kdm) most of them have a
shutdown button that allows anyone to shutdown the system.  If not you can
use sudo to give them the ability to do a shutdown.  Or you can give the
shutdown user a passwd, then logging on as that user will shut the system
down.
