Dodgy answer: move /sbin/shutdown to a location that isn't in the path, so that typing just 'shutdown' from a command line without the full path to it will result in 'command not found'. Better answer: take root access away from users who aren't sensible enough to know how to use it properly. If they *have* to have root access for some reason (and I really can't think of any reason why they should have it), force them to use sudo with a restricted range of commands that they need.
