If your users are able to reach your hardware you have much more problems.

You can edit /usr/sbin/efw-console to hide these options.

I robber will always rob, no matter you have lock on door or not, then why use a lock even?

And a robber has a advantage of resetting factory defaults or rebooting?

Another constructive point: your users can also start your efw with the mini-bash and change the root password (http://kb.endian.com/entry/45/).
