Dear All
I have a server which I am required to put in our computer room. To
prevent others playing with it I wish to lock the console. I thought
either
start X with a blank screen screensaver
or type exit to leave console at login prompt
Ideally, because of the politics round here, I'd like to have the machine
present a blank screen until AFTER the password is entered, and also to
trap the three finger salute.
1. Is it possible to disable and/or trap the <CTRL><Alt><DEL>
combination,such that the only way to shutdown is "shutdown -h" etc?
2. If X is running (with no applications and a blank screensaver) does
this put much overhead on the machine?
3. Does any one know fo any console screen savers which both blank the
screen and need to a password to unlock?
On a slightly different note......
4. Is it possible to put a comment on the end of line in the group
database (ie /etc/group) such as
Mail:x:528:fred,bill,joe #\Maildata
Will this upset anything that accesses groups or do # (or ;) denote
comments in the group file?
Many thanks
Paul
