Assuming you have the sudoers file correct, can't your normal users type:
>sudo halt
><password>
Or is this more than what you wanted?

It's more.
I want to type 'halt' Nothing more. I suppose that sudo halt is okay, but it's 5 more characters that I need to type, not counting my password which it doesn't always ask for.
