by Varun 13 Apr '03

On RedHat any valid user can shut down or reboot the sysytem by giving the following shell command user@machine # poweroff user@machine # reboot How can I disable it? I have already disabled CrlAltDel. Also is there any other way a nonprivileged user can shutdown a system, if so how do I disable it.

Workshop at SAKEC - sequel to earlier mail
by Ashok Iyer 12 Apr '03

12 Apr '03

As per further discussions with the IEEE guys at SAKEC who have volunteered for the event, the following points are now clear: 1. There are around 95 registrations already completed. The registrations are carried out through the IEEE forum website so the possibility of dummy registrations are minimal. 2. There will be a public address system (mike+speakers) etc. , LCD projectors etc. available. 3. The problem of sunlight can be offset using venation blinds. :-) Regards, Ashok -- <-------------------------------------------> <The box said: For Windows 95 or better. . .> <So I installed Linux! > <------------------------------------------->

Re: [ILUG-BOM] How a non-root user can change password in commandline

If there is however (which I seriously doubt), you might want to think about how (un)safe this is. Whatever you type on the shell prompt will not be hidden. Also, all executed commands show up in your history.
