Wire the reset button through the keylock (so you can still use
reset if needed), and disable the power button.
With ATX you can even disable turning off the power through the
powerbutton in the BIOS. If your kernel is compiled with the
right options, shutdown -h (halt) will poweroff after shutdown.
So put "-h" in the ctrlaltdel entry in /etc/inittab instead of -r
so users can shutdown & turn off the machine with ctrl-alt-del
