Hi
Does anyone know if there is a way to stop logins from the physical
console so that a server can only be logged in via ssh?
I did some searching but only seem to find ones for Red hat like systems
or really old Ubuntu versions and the files they suggest changing don't
exist any more.
I am using Ubuntu server 11.04 x64.
The modern Ubuntu way of doing that may be to change the contents of
/etc/init/tty[1-6].conf.
I've changed tty1.conf on my MythTV front-end so that a user
automatically logs in, but you could also prevent logins completely.
On the other hand, I'm not an expert on this stuff, so you should
confirm these ideas elsewhere.
cheers
Chris
