Linux disable local ctrl+alt+delete

I have a linux box on a KVM - a few times I’ve switched over to it and done the ctrl+alt+del by accident (expecting an NT login) - and Unfortunately on fedora out of the box this shuts the machine down - not very good in office hours!
So I found this useful
In /etc/inittab
# Trap CTRL-ALT-DELETE #ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now ca::ctrlaltdel:/bin/echo “ctrl+alt+del disabled”
No more accidental reboots….

your fix worked a treat!
Many thanks
