I found, under a 64-bit CentOS 5 workstation install, it is possible to
modify /etc/inittab and add a couple of lines to prevent root from logging
into the console.
I found, under a 64-bit RHEL 5 server install, adding the same two lines
completely breaks the OS, to the point that a reboot after the lines are
added, the OS brings you to a fsck-like prompt, and other things break,
too. I didn't have time to look at the logs for specifics, if any were
recorded.
Does anyone know if a CentOS 5 server install option permits locking out
root from console login? Does anyone know of a way, in RHEL 5 Server
edition, to prevent root from a console login?
Thanks.
Scott
