The FreeNX connection is from localhost.

i.e
1/ ssh from remote to server for "tunnel"with
        user nx and shell /usr/bin/nxserver
        start nxagent on appropriate :display

then

2/ ssh real-user at localhost for the X session . . 
        export DISPLAY= set to same as above, then
        startkde

Set all your users to be unable to re-boot.

Admins can then shutdown/reboot via Konsole with

         sudo shutdown -r 0

Much safer anyway !!
