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.
|
|
|
|
There's also a screensaver, based on libcaca.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
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
