In a safe environment where we are sure that console is secured because passwords for BIOS and LILO are set and all physical power and reset switches on the system are disabled it may be advantageous to entirely disable all console-equivalent access to programs like shutdown, reboot, and halt for regular users on your server. To do this, run the following command:
[root@deep] /#rm -f /etc/security/console.apps/<servicename> |
Example 5-2. Disable console-equivalent access
: If you are following our setup installation, the Xwindow interface is not installed on your server and all the files described above will not appear in the /etc/security directory, so can safely ignore the above steps.
