Hi, Here's the section of our script that disables non-root shutdowns. There are three parts. - gdm.conf - turns off reboots from the gnome login window - /etc/pam.d/{reboot,half, poweroff} - turns off reboots from inside gnome - /etc/inittab - turns off ctrl-alt-delete Hope this helps, Cheryl #!/bin/sh # # # Disable non-root shutdowns # # /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf mv /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf.orig sed 's!SystemMenu=true!SystemMenu=false!' /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf.orig > /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf chown root:root /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf chmod 644 /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf # # /etc/pam.d/reboot mv /etc/pam.d/reboot /etc/pam.d/reboot.orig sed 's!auth[ ]*required[ ]*/lib/security/pam_console.so!#auth required /lib/security/pam_console.so!' /etc/pam.d/reboot.orig > /etc/pam.d/reboot chown root:root /etc/pam.d/reboot chmod 644 /etc/pam.d/reboot # # /etc/pam.d/halt mv /etc/pam.d/halt /etc/pam.d/halt.orig sed 's!auth[ ]*required[ ]*/lib/security/pam_console.so!#auth required /lib/security/pam_console.so!' /etc/pam.d/halt.orig > /etc/pam.d/halt chown root:root /etc/pam.d/halt chmod 644 /etc/pam.d/halt # # /etc/pam.d/poweroff mv /etc/pam.d/poweroff /etc/pam.d/poweroff.orig sed 's!auth[ ]*required[ ]*/lib/security/pam_console.so!#auth required /lib/security/pam_console.so!' /etc/pam.d/poweroff.orig > /etc/pam.d/poweroff chown root:root /etc/pam.d/poweroff chmod 644 /etc/pam.d/poweroff # # # /etc/inittab mv /etc/inittab /etc/inittab.orig sed 's!ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now!#ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now!' /etc/inittab.orig > /etc/inittab chown root:root /etc/inittab chmod 644 /etc/inittab -- Cheryl Southard cld@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
