/etc/shutdown.allow is a file that contains the names of users aloowed to
shutdown the system. It may not be present on your system yet; you'll
have to create it.
Also check /etc/inittab to see if Ctrl-Alt-Del is being caught. If so,
anybody (not just those in shutdown.allow) may shutdown the system via the
"three finger salute." What you might do is change the Ctrl-Alt-Del
command to "logout" or something else that's harmless.
