    if they are in kde/gnom ... and you didnt change anything, they can
    shutdown like they would a windoze box kde(start)->logout->shutdown

    if they like console .... ctl-alt-F1 than ctl-alt-del

    if you like to work harder .. setup up with sudo for running either
            halt, shutdown or reboot or init 6 or gazillion other possibilities
