How to disable control Alt Delete on VMware Linux Guests

[2209278918]

by mistake one of support person pressed control Alt delete soft button on VMware guest web console and guest invoked reboot. this was a RedHat guest.

can this be avoided from VMware VCenter end.

I got to know this can be eliminated from RedHat OS by setting up /etc/init/control-alt-delete.conf file.

but I'm searching solution from VMware end as we have more than 500 RedHat guests.

note: vSphere Client version 7.0.2.00500

It took some time to get my head around this also. I am running my  tech news site on a Linux guest at the moment and I come up with this solution. Have you tried this?

Try commenting out "ctrlaltdel" in this this file:

/etc/inittab

If using Ubuntu, try commenting out the entire contents of the following file:

/etc/event.d/control-alt-delete
