Question KDM and Ctrl+Alt+Delete [MDK 10.2]


Hi

I'm setting up a workstation running MDK 10.2 using KDM as login manager. The system is to be used by people with absolutely no experience with computers (hard to believe that they exist, but believe me, we have plenty of them in South Africa) and we want them to not be able to change any setting which would then require someone to service the computer.

Basically the problem I have is that in the KDM login screen you can press Ctrl+Alt+delete which brings up the shutdown menu offering options such as rebooting, shutting down and selecting which kernel to boot. I don't want this window to to appear. How can I stop it?

I've scratched through all the config files I could find, but nothing. I removed the Ctrl+Alt+delete trap in inittab, and the mapping in the global KDE settings, but the window still appears. Anything else I can look at?

Thanks in advance,
ZX_SA

I'm not a KDE user myself, but isn't there a kdm.conf file with all the options you need...? Try 'man kdm' and maybe 'man kdm.conf'.
