From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0)

Description of problem:
I am not sure if this is a RedHat-dependant "bug" really, but here it 
goes...I discovered that on my RH 7.1-system I could type reboot in 
console as an ordinary user and reboot, on my one-person system this 
doesn't really matter, however in a networkenviroment this causes concerns 
in my opinion. I did not change the default settings for the rights for 
the command. This makes me wonder if this should set to this as default in 
Redhat or if it has been changed or will be changed
in future releases. I agree this might not be a bug directly related to 
Redhat but it would perhaps be worth looking in to.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a console window as an ordinary user
2. Type reboot
3.
	

Actual Results:  The computer reboots

Expected Results:  In my opinion it should not reboot when you type reboot 
as an ordinary user, an ordinary user should be priviliged by default to 
do so

This is a normal use of pam_console.
