If you add these lines to /etc/sudoers, the users millert, mikef and dowdy
should be able to run "sudo shutdown -h now" from any thin client as their
own user.

User_Alias	SHUTDOWN_USERS = millert, mikef, dowdy
Cmnd_Alias	SHUTDOWN = /usr/sbin/shutdown
SHUTDOWN_USERS  ALL = SHUTDOWN

I haven't tested these but more examples are here:

and "man sudoers" will give you the manual page.
