Hi,
Unless you've lowered your security, your technicians shouldn't be able to
reboot the system. If they are fond of the 3 finger salute, insert a file
/etc/shutdown.allow. only the ones included in the file are allowed to do
CTRL-ALT-DEL. Be sure to check your /etc/inittab file for the shutdown line
and see that it has -a.
If you're using Slackware, there is a file /etc/login.access which allows
you to specify only who can login.
In Mandrake, the file was moved to /etc/security/access.conf but I can't
figure out why it does not work. Anybody on the list with any idea?
Thanks.
Take care and God bless.
William
