On Red Hat, I believe you can do this by editing /etc/pam.d/halt (for example) and removing the pam_console.so line that lets people at the physical machine shut down. Of course they can still just unplug the computer from the wall. ;-) Not sure if GNOME will notice this and remove the reboot option though. A simpler solution that GNOME might notice is just chmod go-x the shutdown program. Havoc
