Remap/Disable ctrl+alt+del command
« on: April 03, 2014, 09:07:42 AM »
I would like to disable ctrl+alt+del because I am going to run rdesktop automatically on boot and I do not want users to have the ability to access the terminal. However, I would like to remap this shortcut to another keyboard combination. Where would I go to do this and how?  I greatly appreciate any assistance with this. Thank You.

The place for those settings is /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-custom-kbd.conf (where "90-custom-kbd.conf" is just an example).
You could read "The XKB Configuration Guide", e.g. at http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.6/doc/xorg-docs/input/XKB-Config.html.

My own entry to disable virtual terminal switching and ctrl-alt-del is the below entry, as once I have xscreensaver  or gnome-screensaver lock the screen I want no other way than the password to access the system without a hard reboot.

Code: [Select]
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "DontVTSwitch" "true"
Option "DontZap"  "yes"
EndSection
