Hi again,

On the next page of the customization guide,

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.3-Manual/custom-guide/s1-access-console-program.html

it says:

...  To remove these abilities, run the following commands as root:

rm -f /etc/security/console.apps/poweroff
rm -f /etc/security/console.apps/halt
rm -f /etc/security/console.apps/reboot

That's what I did on my server, and when a user tries to shutdown, it 
just logs him out to the machine prompt (I run this machine at boot 
level 3).

Hope this help

Bernard
