RE: [suse-security] inittab entry
Hi, it's very usefull if you have a heterogenous network (mixed NT- and linux-workstations), because you get used to hit first those three keys if the screensaver has kicked in and you usualy work at an NT-workstation... you don't really want to reboot say your samba server that often.. karl

Hello,
Was concerned about the control-alt-delete entry in the default /etc/inittab file. Was curious to hear if good practice was typically to remove this entry entirely or replace the shutdown command with something else. Please let me know.
Thanks, John

I've done it on boxes that share a KVM switch with NT servers. Stops NT 'admins' rebooting Linux on a regular basis! Mark

Yep. For that reason it's disabled here as well. I only use NT at work. Try to open my screensaver by typing the password there too. However, that neither shuts down nor crashes NT. ;-) Juergen -- =========================================== __ _ Juergen Braukmann juergen.braukmann@gmx.de| -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Tel: 0201-743648 dk4jb@db0qs.#nrw.deu.eu | /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ===========================================_\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
