We're interested in using our 7300 so it can be accessed by
second users calling in to ph1 or ph2. The main problem we're
having right now is security. So far we haven't been able to
figure out how to prevent users from shutting down the system
using the office manager 'Shutdown' command. We've changed
the permissions on /etc/shutdowm with no apparent effect.
I'm *not* any kind of unix wizard (I feel like a unix dunce
at this point), but for the life of me I can't find anything
about this except the admonition in the Remote Access Users
Guide to 'NEVER give the shutdown command when you are logged
in from a remote terminal.' Hey, that'll work. Right. Wrong.
Has anyone else attempted to deny remote access users the right
to shut down the system? I keep thinking I'm missing something
very simple, but so far the answer has eluded me.
Thanks.
