How do I make a User login shutdown my box?

Thank you for your (and other peoples) kind advice. But this isn't what I wanted.
I wanted a particular user logon action to shut it down. Nothing more and nothing less.

I've got ppl here who've never seen a Linux desktop and I don't want to confuse them with multiply actions as this action should only be used in a emergency. :-)

As I've already posted, I've managed to get this issue resolved and I'm a happy bunny.

Thanks for your time. :-)
