I'm gonna go off on a limb here, and suggest that if you comment out that line,
the traditional three-finger-salute on console may no longer cause a reboot.

If its a multi-user machine, why do ordinary users have access to console? If
you want them to have Xterms, deploy X terminals. If you want them to have
shell access, deploy text terminals.

Or hits the power button. Or pulls out the power cord. Or opens the box up
and yanks out the CPU while its still powered on, or does any number of other
things that access to the computer gives you.
There is a reason console is special. You don't have any real choise in the
matter.:)
