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.
|
|
* Also, I have not tested this program with multiple displays. The assumption
|
|
is that you have one display, for now.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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
