hi! you could prevent users other than root from issuing ctl-alt-del. 1. login as root. 2. touch /etc/shutdown.allow. Keeping this file blank prevents non-root user from issuing ctl-alt-del. you could add userids in this file to allow those userids with ctl-alt-del permission. 3. edit /etc/inittab . check the line ca:ctl-alt-del and confirm the shutdown command used there has '-a' switch on.
Otherwise you could prevent all non-root users from accessing the console/virtual terminal. --- "J.Bakshi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hi, > > in linux pressing [crtl+alt+del] restart the > machine. > this can be disabled from /etc/inittab. but is it > possible to disable this > option for all user *except root* ? > > if possible pls let me know. > > -- > To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with the body > "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line. > FAQ: http://www.ilug-cal.org/node.php?id=3 > __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
