In "Control Center -> System Administration -> Login Manager" select the 
"Sessions" tab and set the appropriate options. I have set "Allow Shutdown 
Console = Everybody" and "Allow Shutdown Remote = Only root". The commands 
are "halt command = /sbin/halt" and "reboot command = /sbin/reboot".

Alternatively check out your /usr/kde/3.1/share/config/kdm/kdmrc and look at 
the "Shutdown" section and "Core" sections. There is a "Core" section for 
every $DISPLAY, e.g. [X-:*-Core], [X-:0-Core], etc. The "[X-:*-Core]" section 
is for local displays, i.e. what you need. Change the "AllowShutdown=" line 
to whatever you like (possible options are "None", "Root", and "All").


Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Renat
