remote calendars are a user preference and can be disabled by locking 
the preference, just like with other Horde preferences. Of course, one 
could debate if it were better to have an option to enable or disable 
remote calendars for certain users through the Permissions system, but 
currently, that's just not the case.

So to disable remote calendars for all users, you may edit (or create) 
.../kronolith/config/prefs.local.php to read like this:

<?php

$_prefs['remote_cals']['value']  = 'a:0:{}';
$_prefs['remote_cals']['locked'] = 1;

Please note, however, that doing so will only disable remote calendars 
for users logging in after this change has been done and it does not 
affect users which already have a remote calendar set.  To get rid of 
existing remote calendars, you will have to remove these individual 
remote calenders from preferences storage. In the most common case of a 
MySQL database, this could be done with an SQL statement like "DELETE 
FROM horde_prefs WHERE pref_name='remote_cals' AND pref_scope='kronolith'".

On a side note, I'd also suggest to re-think if this is really 
necessary. I think remote calendars are a great way for power users to 
have all of their different calendars displayed in one place. I can 
hardly see why one needs to disable this feature altogether.
