Disable Keyboard in AIX 5.2
Hi all.
I have a log file that the operators monitor. This file is simply tailed -f on a screen in the ops room. I would like to know if there is anyway I can disable the keyboard from any input other than physically unpluging it. Something like a trap in the script.
The system is AIX 5.2.
Thanks
J

I need to change the security on our AIX servers and disable telnet from all but certain IP addresses.
I have hashed the telnet line in /etc/inetd.conf and added filter rules for those IP adds to allow access on port 23, but this didn't work.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks. (2 Replies)

screenblank
SCREENBLANK(1) BSD General Commands Manual SCREENBLANK(1)
NAME
screenblank -- screen saver daemon for wscons and FBIO machines
SYNOPSIS
screenblank [-k | -m] [-d inactivity-timeout] [-e wakeup-delay] [-f framebuffer] [-i input-device]
screenblank {-b | -u}
DESCRIPTION
screenblank disables the framebuffer if the keyboard and mouse are idle for a period of time, and re-enables the framebuffer when keyboard or
mouse activity resumes.
When killed with a SIGINT, SIGHUP, or SIGTERM, screenblank will re-enable the framebuffer. The pid can be found in the file
/var/run/screenblank.pid.
The options are as follows:
-b Overriding the other options, simply try (once) to blank the framebuffer, then exit.
-d inactivity-timeout
Wait the number of seconds specified by inactivity-timeout, expressed in the format ``xxx.xxx'', before disabling the framebuffer due
to inactivity. The default is 600 seconds (10 minutes).
-e wakeup-delay
Wait the number of seconds specified by wakeup-delay, expressed in the format ``xxx.xxx'', before re-enabling the framebuffer once
activity resumes. The default is .25 seconds.
-f framebuffer
Use the framebuffer device framebuffer instead of the default /dev/fb.
-i input-device
Add input-device to the list of devices to monitor for activity.
-k Do not check the keyboard for activity.
-m Do not check the mouse for activity.
-u Overriding the other options, simply try (once) to unblank the framebuffer, then exit.
Note that the -k and -m flags are mutually exclusive.
FILES
/dev/kbd The keyboard device.
/dev/mouse The mouse device.
/dev/console The console device.
/dev/fb The default framebuffer.
/dev/wskbd The keyboard for wscons machines.
/dev/wsmouse The mouse device for wscons machines.
