Greg,

A little digging around using Google threw this up :
http://superuser.com/questions/1092083/how-to-disable-kill-command-on-linux

If you scroll down you will see the exact same code :)

And completely off-topic what are the options for some of us who very much wish to attend the Linux conference North America ( http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/linuxcon-north-america ) but simply cannot afford the standard registration fee of US$950 ?

And I notice Microsoft is a Diamond sponsor ? Interesting !
