rdesktop only allows several logons if the computer in question is a server class.... otherwise it's a single session. Granted rdesktop is much better than vnc for slow links... and a *little* more secure.
However, addressing the original question: if you are just concerned with shutting down or restarting windows computers... you should take a look at the 'net' command that accompanies samba. Something like: net rpc shutdown -U <user> --ipaddress=<computer name/ip> (-r if reboot) should do you just nicely.
