There's this nice program called "xlock", which allows to lock an
X-console while sleeping in some other corner to keep bad people from
doing their job. The only problem under XFree1.2 is that it's still
possible to switch VCs. Now if I startx on tty1, it is just as simple
as pressing Alt-Ctrl-F1 followed by a Ctrl-C to stop X and get the
users login-shell. No password required.
I guess it's easy to see that I don't like this. Thus:
Question: Does anyone know a workaround to also lock people from
switching to other VCs (at least the one X has been started from)??
