RE: "shutdown" security potential problem?
I've no idea how you rtfm'ed, but obvoiusly you didn't try hard enough.
I never heard of "consolehelper" before, and it sounded interesting.
so I went to google and searched for "consolehelper".
The first item in results was
http://www.redhat.com/support/manuals/RHL-6.0-Manual/install-guide/manual/do
c087.html
Which is exectly what you need.
Here's the important bit:
In order to disable all access by console users to console programs, you
should run the command:
rm -f /etc/security/console.apps/*
Seems like RH is abit biased toward home market, where users aren't used to
not having permissions to use the modem (or shutdown) and resent having to
tinker their way into doing so. Well, the smart sysadmin can disable the
evil hole.
