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.

create a file shutdown.allow in /etc and add the names of users u want to allow to reboot/shutdown
create a file shutdown.deny in /etc and add the names of people u want to deny shutdown/reboot access in it
