vlock.SlackBuild |
vlock is a program to lock one or more sessions on the Linux console. This is especially useful for Linux machines which have multiple users with access to the console. One user may lock his or her session(s) while still allowing other users to use the system on other virtual consoles. If desired, the entire console may be locked and virtual console switching disabled. vlock has two particular options that this SlackBuild reserves to the wheel group: -n,--new Switch to a new virtual console before locking all console sessions. and -s ,--disable-sysrq Disable the SysRq mechanism (enabled by stock Slackware 13.0 kernels) while consoles are locked. This option only works if the -a, --all option given. If you would like to set an alternative group, you may pass the VLOCK_GROUP variable to the SlackBuild like this: VLOCK_GROUP=users ./vlock.SlackBuild
