I think the easiest thing to do is get together a list of the local
users of your system, and add their usernames to group "wheel" in
/etc/group and /etc/group.local. Then I think they should be able to
reboot by logging in and typing "shutdown -r now".
Alternatively, you could rebuild your kernel with the
PCVT_CTRL_ALT_DEL option, but that's a little harder. Also, the PCVT
handling of ctrl-alt-del is not as clean as Linux's (it doesn't do a
normal shutdown).
