Imagine:
Only a monito and a keyboard, as well as access to some kind of floppy
device, not bootable by default. No access to the rest of the machine.
You are allowed to use the poweroff tool to shutdown the system.
Even though you have not the right to do. It was the same about the shutdown
and usermode problem. It is simply a matter of unlink the proweroff from the
/usr/bin directory, but it is important to know that, I think.
