You can limit who is allowed to use <ctrl><alt><del>. Just edit /etc/inittab
and add the option -a to the shutdown line.  Then the three-finger-salute
will cause shutdown to consult /etc/shutdown.allow to see if an authorized
user is logged in at any of the VC's.  You may need to type kill -HUP 1 to
get this to take effect after editing inittab.
