Is the said machine on a KVM switch? is it possible a Windows NT admin has hit CTRL-ALT-DEL to logon and then realised they had the wrong machine? Just incase, logon to the said machine and edit the following; vi /etc/inittab find the following lines. # What to do when CTRL-ALT-DEL is pressed. ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -r now now change it to be; # What to do when CTRL-ALT-DEL is pressed. #ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -r now Save the file... then run "init q" Now hitting CTRL-ALT-DEL on the local console won't tell the machine to do a shutdown when the keys are pressed.
