If you're forced into using YaST. then go into System 
Administration from the main menu, the Login options, then select 
graphical, kdm.
When you're in X, run /opt/kde/bin/kdmconfig
This will allow you to specify who can bring the machine down (ie 
no-one has to be logged on for the machine to be shutdown).
I'd suggest only showing the users you want too (get rid of root).

The nice thing about Windows is that it doesn't just crash.
It displays a dialogue box and lets you click OK first.
