I found a good guide on how to disable the three-finger salute on your terminal (an analog loophole). Here it is in summary*:

1. vi /etc/inittab
2. comment the line with ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now
3. reload init init q

Is that hard, hmmm? There are other suggestions at the link above. Now, I’m looking for a way to put a large notice in the terminal that should say “Do not format; DB server”. I swear, it happened to me once.

* It is assumed that you’re using a Red Hat-based distribution. Also, you’ll need to be root to do most of the commands.
