Some X session managers trap Ctrl-Alt-Del as well -- for example, in GNOME, hitting Ctrl-Alt-Del usually pops up the Logout dialog box. You can disable that in the control panel, though I forget exactly where.

If you are root, edit /etc/inittab: there should be a line like: (that example is copied from Slackware 8.0) ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t5 -rf now if you remove it (or comment it writing # before it) and (as root) do 'init q' it won't reset any more. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
