Re: Locking down Fedora???

1. Upon boot, just display a graphic with no status, and no show

Might want to check out "http://www.bootsplash.org/";, which I think is what Fedora uses to display the pretty graphics and progress bar on bootup. There's likely a way to disable the progress bar if you need to.

2. Disable keyboard input on boot and renable it when it has completed booting

AFAIK the only thing keyboard "input" does during boot is echo to the console, and this shouldn't happen if you throw up a splash screen.

3. Disable cntrl-alt-backspace in X Windows.

Taken from the man page for "xorg.conf":

      Option "DontZap"  "boolean"
             This disallows the use  of  the  Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
             sequence.  That sequence is normally used to termi­
             nate the Xorg server.  When this option is enabled,
             that  key  sequence  has  no special meaning and is
             passed to clients.  Default: off.

Hope this helps,
