shutdown that comes with usermod still allows any user to shutdown a
system? 
Fixed in other RH version but it still in RH7.0 , so is this a bug or a
feature?

Are these users logged in at the console when they shut the machine down?  If
so, then it is working as designed (given shutdown and a power switch, shutdown
is preferable).  If the user is not logged in at the console and can shut the
machine down, it is a security bug.

[anyuser@machine anyuser]$ shutdown
shutdown: you must be root to do that!

Closing this.

cheers,
Jindrich
