Pressing the right alt and right ctrl keys, along with the del key in the group of keys above the inverted "T" on an AT-style keyboard works for me. I suspect there's something wonky in the keymap or init your friend is using. If he has trouble finding it, "su -c halt" or whatever should work. If he doesn't have root access, maybe he can get this installed (it's in /pub/Linux/Incoming on sunsite):
