You could use sudo and add selected people to the sudoers file.

Hi peolple
Do you know how to do a Linux (clear) shutdown without root privileges 
from login screen?
I want to give a user the privilege of shutdown the server without being 
root.  I have heared about umount problems of the file system.

Thanks
