Preventing System Shutdown
by swamprat from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5NJZX)
Greetings, we have a Kubuntu Linux machine which I have set up so several people here can test a Linux system to see if they would like to use Linux for their daily work.
This is working out fine except for the issue that each user is able to shut down the machine at the end of their testing. They aren't logging off but shutting down the machine.
I find this not to be acceptable but I don't know of any way to stop this from happening. I would like to restrict these users for being able to shut down the system but I haven't figured out a resolutions after trying a number of things, nothing works.
Is there a way to define a general user from only logging off and not being able to shut down the system. We are only using one physical terminal for the Linux system at this time. My user id is should be the only super user being able to shut things down.
Any help with this issue is appreciated. Thanks
