Shutdown via user (not root)



Hmm.. How would I disable user shutdowns (i.e., a person logged in under
their username runs 'shutdown', types in their password, and the
computer shuts down) in RedHat 6.x?  Allowing user shutdowns seems to be
the default in 6.0 and 6.1. (eek)

Linuxconf doesn't seem to be any help in this matter (the users are
clearly marked as not having that capability..)

Anyway, I was just kind of wondering if that's a bug or something (or if
I just have bad voodoo)
