Locking a Session
I'm using Fluxbox as my window manager, and whenever I want to lock my session, I use xlock while I'm away. However, it seems easy enough for a potentially malicious user to simply switch to the TTY that's running my Fluxbox session and use something like ctrl-c to kill it, gaining access to my logon through the TTY.
I've been looking for a solution to the issue, and it seems that the best I've come up with is to use vlock with the -n flag. (This switches from X to a new terminal, then locks all terminals.) This seems like an ideal solution when I want no one accessing my computer, but what if I want it to be accessible to other users while restricting them from my own login?
