slock - simple screen locker ============================ simple screen locker utility for X. Requirements ------------ In order to build slock you need the Xlib header files. Notes ------------ As of right now, this implementation assumes that the user has no automatic display management utilities, like mutter. Installation ------------ # make # chmod u+s ./slock # mv ./slock /usr/local/bin Running slock ------------- Simply invoke the 'slock' command. To get out of it, enter your password. Security Considerations ------------- To make sure a locked screen can not be bypassed by switching VTs or killing the X server with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, it is recommended to disable both in xorg.conf for maximum security: Section "ServerFlags" Option "DontVTSwitch" "True" Option "DontZap" "True" EndSection
