RE: anybody can shutdown my system?

["Patrick M. May" <pmm10 cvip fresno com>]

Check your settings in Linuxconf. Go to the people and make sure that they
do not have permission to shutdown.  If you look, you can set permissions
for a lot of things in there.

If you have many users, well, then I'm not sure what to tell you other than
check each one.
