Disabling shutdown/reboot for users?

[Quillen, Channon]

David-

I am forwarding to you, and list, a reply from a list user on Psyche where
before I asked the same question.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi,

Here's the section of our script that disables non-root shutdowns.
There are three parts.
	- gdm.conf - turns off reboots from the gnome login window
	- /etc/pam.d/{reboot,half, poweroff} - turns off reboots from
		inside gnome
	- /etc/inittab - turns off ctrl-alt-delete

Hope this helps,

Cheryl

How can I disable the shutdown/reboot on the startup menu for standard
users?

And/Or force them to enter the root password (like redhat-config-*)?

TX,
David
