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.

Hi

I did try to disable the tty's but I was then unable to connect to the server the server, it didn't respond to pings either so I am not sure if fully booted up or not, so I had to boot up from a live CD and change the files to allow tty's again.

Just as thought is there away to prevent users from logging in locally while allowing remote access via ssh as that might be easier.

Thanks

David
