- I followed the instructions in the documentation which allow you to disable
- the power-off key when the login panel is displayed, using the following line
- in /etc/ttys:
-
- console "/usr/lib/NextStep/loginwindow -PowerOffDisabled true" NeXT
- on secure window=/usr/lib/NextStep/WindowServer onoption="/usr/etc/getty
- std.9600"
-
- What I have found, though, is that this works following system boot up, but
- after any user has logged in and back out, anyone can shut the machine down
- via the power key from the console, so it seems as though this option is being
- overridden or reset after logging in.
-
- Has anyone solved this problem?
-
-
- Thanks.
