how to trap the ctrl+alt+del and backspace key

[si_hussain1]

Hi,
 1.  Can anyone tell me a good way of trapping the ctrl+alt+del and backspace key. I do not want anyone to reboot the client or to kill the X.


2. how do i add the splash screen . I do not want to see the boot messages etc

Thanks in advance

I think there's a line in /etc/inittab that tells it what to do on ctrl-alt-delete.   No idea about the rest.

Xorg has the dontzap option (which is on by default in the latest)

I don't think there was any previous users who have tried a splash screen yet.  Good time to be the first

i thought of it. But then there is no xorg.conf in this. Is there any particular way for this?

For Xorg, see the Xorg extension

If you use the Xvesa extension in the repo, it has the -nozap option that prevents ctrl-alt-backspace from killing X.  I also am pressing ctrl-alt-del while in X and nothing is happening.  So the Xvesa extension should be what you are looking for if you don't want full Xorg.
