Hi all I am a quite new Linux User. I am going to disable shutdown/reboot from the Console using Ctrl-Alt-Del. I have found that is is jdone by editing "/etc/inittab" and commenting out the following line: ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now like this: #ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now But how do I activate the change? Please forgive me for asking this stupid questing (I suppose it is stupid) I tried to run the command /etc/inittab logged in as root from a SSH promt but I just got the message: permission denied. Is this automatically applied after saving my changes to the /etc/inittab file? Øyvind -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
