Team,
Is there any ability to create a password for a one or specific set of command in Linux? I don't know if such scenario has been posted in before, but I really want to protect poweroff, reboot, init 0 and init 6 even from root user with a password.

tpm_clear
tpm_clear(8) System Manager's Manual tpm_clear(8)
TPM Management - tpm_clear
NAME
tpm_clear - return the TPM to the default state (unowned, disabled, inactive)
SYNOPSIS
tpm_clear [OPTION]
DESCRIPTION
tpm_clear requests that the system's TPM perform a clear (via the TPM_OwnerClear API) wiping out all ownership information, in effect
invalidaing all keys and data tied to the TPM, as well as disabling and deactivating the TPM. This operation will prompt for the owner
password. The --force option relies on Phyiscal Presence to authorize the command (via the TPM_ForceClear API) skipping the owner password
prompt. The TPM OwnerClear API can be disabled until the current owner is cleared, requiring use of the --force with tpm_setclearable
command. The TPM_ForceClear API can be disabled for the current boot cycle with the tpm_setclearable command. This command requires a
reboot to complete the operation.
-h, --help
Display command usage info.
-v, --version
Display command version info.
-l, --log [none|error|info|debug]
Set logging level.
-u, --unicode
Use TSS UNICODE encoding for passwords to comply with applications using TSS popup boxes
-f, --force
Rely on Physical Presence for authorization; therefore, do not prompt for owner password.
-z, --well-known
Authenticate using 20 bytes of zeros as owner password (the default TSS Well Known Secret), instead of prompting for an owner
password.
