Hi all,
FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE (8.2-STABLE, And various other versions)
I have edited the Ctrl+Alt+Del keymap to halt the system vs. reboot.
(About any key combo would make me happy)
However it does not work.
What I've done:
[cmd=]kdbcontrol -d > /etc/zathras.us.iso.kbd[/cmd]
Edited the correct scan code (083) from 'boot' to 'halt' in /etc/zathras.us.iso.kbd.
Added the following to rc.conf:
Then loaded it:
[cmd=]kbdcontrol -l /etc/zathras.us.iso.kbd[/cmd]
Then checked to see if it loaded:
[cmd=]kbdcontrol -d[/cmd]
Shows the modified keymap.
Hit CTRL+ALT+DEL and it REBOOTED!
After logging back in I did:
[cmd=]kbdcontrol -d[/cmd]
And it showed the modified keymap ...
However, It still reboots!
Why do I want this, I do NOT run monitors on batteries, when the power goes out I need to cleanly shutdown blindly. Systems are in secure vaults, no worries about intruders!
Thanks
-Enjoy
