The [default] section is fine, if you want to enable that setting on all 
of your terminals.  the specific section is what you'd want if you just 
want to enable that feature for specific workstations.

I'm guessing that you are doing this on a Mac client tho.  I'm not sure 
what's in the mac tree.  that's not official LTSP-4.2.  I'm not sure how 
old it is.  Take a look in the (ltsp_root)/etc directory for a file 
called 'run_ltspinfod'.  If you have that file, then the 
'ALLOW_SHUTDOWN' paramter should do the trick.  If you don't have that 
file, then your chroot tree is probably too old.
