login as root. Type:
	dwrite loginwindow PowerOffDisabled YES

loginwindow PowerOffDisabled power off power down

Q: I set the PowerOffDisabled default of loginwindow to Yes to disable to 
   the power key, but it doesn't seem to work  When I hit the Power key, the
   Workspace Manager still gives me the power-off alert, and the machine will
   still power down if I confirm.

A: You need to change the default value of PowerOffDisabled for root, not 
   yourself. Note that with this done, you will still get the power-off
   alert from WSM, and if you confirm, you will still be logged off.  But,
   the machine won't power down; you'll instead find yourself
   at the login window.  

Q: Assuming I get PowerOffDisabled working, how do I power down the machine?

A: The PowerOffDisabled default simply changes what the loginwindow does when
   the user tries to power down the machine by hitting the power key when 
   either the login window or WSM is up.  At other times, like when you are in 
   the console or at the NeXT prompt, you can still use the power key to
   turn the machine off.
