FYI, right now I have:
1. a "halt: login with UID 0 and /sbin/halt as login shell. UID 0 will prevent
   a) network logins and b) "su halt" by users not in group wheel.
2. A message in /etc/gettytag to login as "halt" on the console to reboot the
   system.

But still, having CTRL-ALT-DEL available as well would be nice.
