7.11.1 ProblemWe all know that Ctrl-Alt-Delete reboots the machine. But is this what you want? From a security standpoint, a machine is vulnerable when booting; and anyone with access to the keyboard can force a reboot. Therefore, you want to disable Ctrl-Alt-Delete for rebooting the machine, or you want to limit it to some users. 7.11.2 SolutionTo disable it completely, comment out this line in /etc/inittab: # ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -r now To enable it for a specific set of users, add the -a switch: ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -r now Then add your list of allowed users to /etc/shutdown.allow. 7.11.3 DiscussionYou may need to create the /etc/shutdown.allow file, if it does not already exist. 7.11.4 See Also
