Change the permissions or make the executable suid root -- but rember: there is a reason that only root is able to run that command !

Go into /etc/inittab and make ctrl-alt-delete halt instead of reboot. 
If I really want a reboot, I just hit the reset button after it halts or issue the reboot command.
I did this like 6 years ago.

ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -h now |

If you like to run as a user, learn to love sudo. I hated it and have been runnen as root for years now.

# chmod +s /sbin/shutdown
# chmod +s /sbin/halt

Please note that this is insecure and should NEVER be used on a server.
