How do I intercept CTRL+ALT+DEL?

How do I intercept the CTRL+ALT+DEL so it does not reboot the server? I have a bad habit of doing this since I normally do this to unlock my W*ndows workstation.

Thanks in advance.

Edit your /etc/inittab file to change this.

In /etc/inittab
replace something that looks like

Code:

ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t5 -r now

with something like

Code:

ca::ctrlaltdel:/bin/true

Cheers,
Tink
