How to Disable a System's Abort Sequence

Before You Begin

You must become an administrator who is assigned the solaris.admin.edit/etc/default/kbd authorization. By default, the root role has this authorization. For more information, see Using Your Assigned Administrative Rights in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.3.

1. Change the value of KEYBOARD_ABORT to disable.

   Comment out the enable line in the /etc/default/kbd file. Then, add a disable line:

   # cat /etc/default/kbd
   …
   # KEYBOARD_ABORT affects the default behavior of the keyboard abort

   #KEYBOARD_ABORT=enable
   KEYBOARD_ABORT=disable

2. Update the keyboard defaults.

   # kbd -i
