On RedHat any valid user can shut down or reboot the sysytem by giving the following shell command user@machine # poweroff
user@machine # reboot
How can I disable it? I have already disabled CrlAltDel.
Also is there any other way a nonprivileged user can shutdown a system, if so how do I disable it.

There is no shutdown.allow or shutdown.deny in the /etc/ directory in RedHat

u have to create those files manually (as root)
and add the names of users to them
for example
as a root
type vi /etc/shutdowndeny inside type user1 save the file
this will disallow reboot/shutdown access for user1
