MikeyCarter Member Registered: Feb 2003 Location: Orangeville Distribution: Fedora Posts: 492 Rep:	Stop users from doing shutdown in Gnome I have a wonderful thing happen... I was logged in remote to my server and my wife was on her laptop (NCD) Before she went to bed she clicked shutdown... it took me a few minutes to figure out why I had no network, no web site and was getting pages the server was down. How do I disable "Shutdown" and "Restart" from the menu when a user logs out? I tried blanking the following from the gdm.conf HaltCommand= RebootCommand= SuspendCommand= even tried HaltCommand=/scripts/noaccess.sh RebootCommand=/scripts/noaccess.sh SuspendCommand=/scripts/noaccess.sh still users can shutdown my server from that screen. how do I disable it? I know I could remove the /sbin/halt .. etc but every time there is a Redhat upgrade it copies it back in. HELP!! Thanks, Michael
