Remote Shutdown

What's the best way to shutdown one computer from another?

I've got two machines running YDL.  

The first one is a regular setup.

The second one has no keyboard, monitor or mouse;
just an ethernet connection to the LAN.

I was able to telnet to the second machine, switch
to root, and issue 'poweroff', but it froze up the
console on the first machine.

Is there a better way?

Thanks,

Drew
