Disable CTRL+ALT+DELETE

2007-06-04 Thread Kenneth Bond

Hello,

I have a quick question regarding disabling the CTRL+ALT+DELETE
keystroke sequence used to reboot a system.

I understand that you are able to add the following option to the
kernel config file and rebuild the kernel:

options SC_DISABLE_REBOOT

What I'd like to confirm is whether or not using a keymap file and
changing the boot entries to nop, and then loading it on each boot
through /etc/rc.conf (KEYMAP = /usr/share/syscons/keymap/keymap.kbd)
is a viable, secure alternative for disabling the CTRL+ALT+DELETE
keystroke sequence.

I know it was commonly used with older FreeBSD releases, but I'm not
sure whether it is recommended with newer releases.

Please advise.

Thanks!

As per the security advisories page on the FreeBSD website, the 6.1
release is to be supported by the security officer for a period of 24
months, yet it is listed as a Normal release, indicating a 12 month
security support period. Is this correct?

FreeBSD 6.0 - SMP Generic Kernels via freebsd-update

2006-03-12 Thread Kenneth Bond
Hello,
I am trying to confirm whether or not Generic SMP kernels for
FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE are offered via freebsd-update, as they
were with 5.3-RELEASE, 5.4-RELEASE, etc.

Basically does the procedure described at the URL below work
for the 6.0-RELEASE?
