my old roomie, used to have our router box keyboard in the under-keyboard
drawer on his desk, but he normaly used his windows box keyboard on the
top of the desk.. whenever he was working on both boxes, he'd 3-finger the
linux box by mistake.. so i changed the inittab to do
ca::ctrlaltdel:/bin/echo "wrong keyboard, dumbass"
Thank You,
