Jim, That does partially do the job: when you click on shutdown or reboot, it simply restarts the X server. I can live with that, but I would prefer a neater solution where those options are no longer available/visible Thanks !

I've done a similar thing on Fedora systems by putting the following in /etc/gdm/custom.conf [daemon] HaltCommand= RebootCommand= I don't have any CentOS boxes with a GUI screen to check it on, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was equally applicable there.
