Of course, it really doesn't matter much... a user at the console
can always shut down with the old <ctrl><alt><del> bit (and yes, if
you haven't done it, it attempts to gracefully reboot).

Check your settings in Linuxconf. Go to the people and make sure that they
do not have permission to shutdown. If you look, you can set permissions
for a lot of things in there.
If you have many users, well, then I'm not sure what to tell you other than
check each one.
