Synopsis: ctrl+alt+del --- normal user can reboot machine

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed

State-Changed-Why: 
As explained on the mailing list by phk, this is provided as
a kernel option and can also be controlled by keyboard mappings.

If the machine is going to be used by untrusted users at
the console, the kernel option is a good idea.

Providing a sysctl to allow ctrl-alt-del and then changing
that sysctl and pressing ctrl-alt-del to reboot a machine is
the long way of typing 'reboot'.
