Disable console program access

The /etc/security/console.apps/ directory should contain one file per


application that wishes to allow access to console users. The filename

should be the same as the servicename. To disable console equivalent

access to programs like shutdown, reboot, and halt for regular users

on server.

[root@vishesh] /# rm -f /etc/security/console.apps/halt

[root@vishesh] /# rm -f /etc/security/console.apps/poweroff

[root@vishesh] /# rm -f /etc/security/console.apps/reboot

[root@vishesh] /# rm -f /etc/security/console.apps/shutdown
