The posted lock-up programs are fine, but it would be really nice if there were some modification that would ignore hangups, i.e. turn the terminal off, then back on, and you are still logged in running the security script. Would be fantastic for crowded public terminal rooms. Anybody have ideas? S. Parker ARPA: sparker@aerospace

A mere 6 weeks ago, somebody posted a request for a program to log off idle users. Also kind of amazing seeing people bragging about being able to lock up a terminal at a crowded comp. center while they wander off to go shopping for a few hours. When I was in school (no, this is not a good ol' days reverie, this was 2 years ago) terminals were in such demand that we had to sign up for them, and anyone who intentionally left a terminal unusable was subject to weeks of verbal abuse. Of course, anyone *clever* enough to lock up a terminal need not concern themselves with someone less clever who is struggling to meet a deadline. Afterburner off. Jonathan E. Quist ihnp4!laidbak!jeq
