hi

I'm not shure if its the right solution for your problem: but I think
you have to look aut the file /etc/inittab
in my mandrake 6.0 distribution, there is entry:

# Trap CTRL-ALT-DELETE
ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now

I don't tested this, but it should work:
ca::ctrlaltdel:/bin/false

yet, if anyoune hit ctrlaltdel, nothing should hapen.

regards
dominik
