I changed my line to
ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/bin/echo "Won't work"
(The line echo outputs is changed different, but means the same, it's
dutch..)

The hard drive spun, a beep was emitted, and the process ground to a

i like to remap ctrl-alt-del to go to runlevel 1,
i set:
ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/init 1
i find it quite useful if something in startup hangs i can just go

much faster then a reboot for me(it takes my machine a full 2 min

Suppose I want to dis-able the three fingered salute. Is it sufficient to
simply comment out this line in /etc/inittab:
# What to do when CTRL-ALT-DEL is pressed.
ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -r now
or should another command be substituted for /sbin/shutdown, and if so, which
one?
