I am trying to get linux to ask me for a password when I press 
ctr+alt+del on the console, but have been unsuccessfull...
the nearest I have got to is to have a user with "/sbin/shutdown now " 
as the shell, and use this line in inittab

ca::ctrlaltdel:/bin/login shutdown

but that wont work.

any suggestions please?
