PHTN-30-000089 - The Photon operating system must be configured so the x86 Ctrl-Alt-Delete key sequence is disabled on the command line.
Information
When the Ctrl-Alt-Del target is enabled, a locally logged-on user who presses Ctrl-Alt-Delete, when at the console, can reboot the system. If accidentally pressed, as could happen in the case of a mixed operating system environment, this can create the risk of short-term loss of systems availability due to unintentional reboot.Solution
At the command line, run the following command:# systemctl mask ctrl-alt-del.target
