Okay... One major part of Linux Admin-ship I'm still trying to figure out is users...
Couple questions:

Possible to create a user that, when logged in with, halt the computer, and can't do anything else? How would you do it? Just run a script? (Same for reboot)

Possible to make it so SAMBA users do not have login capability?

Possible to make a user and grant rights to only one particular thing? Like I just want this user to be able to run a single script, in their home directory, and not even SEE that there's any other files on the whole computer...

Okay.. Thanks for the help. :-)

I would suggest you do some reading on users, groups and permissions. Never tried myself what you are trying to accomplish.
