You can reboot the system if you do the 3-finger salute
Ctrl-Alt-Del. To prevent an ordinary user from doing this
lock the machine in the server room and allow only
the system administrators to enter the room.
You can also reboot the system if you press the reset
button. To prevent this, do as above.
You can also reboot the system if you unplug then plug
the machine.
By the way, the above statements apply not only to
RedHat but to other Linux distros, and maybe to other
Unix machines.
