locking the computer?
I hope this goes under "security" :)
Does anyone know of a program that can complety lock your computer while you are away from it? Xscreensaver just locks the x session, and textlock locks just the current terminal... I need a program that would ignore all input from the keyboard and mouse until the correct password is entered. And another question: is there a way to make Linux turn off my monitor after the screensaver has been running for a certain time? I'm using slackware 10 updated to slackware-current thanks! |
How would you pass a password to OS if all input were ignored?
|
well, that would be up to the author of the program to figure out ;)

I have came across vlock - you can run it with
Code:
vlock -a It can lock a single console as well. That was under Mandrake, but it appears to be available here: http://freshmeat.net/projects/vlock/ I think xscreensaver should allow various states of power-down for the monitor. |
Thanks !!!
