Does anyone know of a screen locking program that will work on an x-terminal. In particular we are using an ncd 19. I've tried running the latest xlock (sccs version 22.4). It locks the screen, but once I've entered my password I get the following: X Protocol error detected by server: attempt to access private resource Failed request major op code 111 X_SetAccessControl Failed request minor op code 0 (if applicable) ResourceID 0x40000004 in failed request (if applicable) Serial number of failed request 991 Current serial number in output stream 997 If I try and run any x programs after this I get Server is not authorized to connect to host X Toolkit Error: Can't Open display: And if I try and run xlock again I get xlock: can't lock pike's display (pike is the terminal name). Does anyone have a locking program that will work, or a patch to xlock to make it work?

In particular we are using an ncd 19. I've tried running the I would like to warn those who think that running a screen lock program, with its nifty display which is supposedly designed to not BURN THE SCREEN. These displays DO BURN THE SCREEN and they should be modified so that they do not inhibit the normal screen saver supported in most X terminals. The displays do not hit the screen completely uniformly, and why even burn the screen uniformly as it it reduces contrast and brightness. UNLESS YOU WANT A BURNT HARD TO READ SCREEN A YEAR FROM NOW, OF COURSE! The latest AWM has a screen burning function that you can build right into it, to make burning your screen as painless as possible. Remember, in the old days you replaced your machine yearly because the CPU became a dog. This did not leave a lot of time to burn the screen. With an X terminal which is fast enought that you cant see it draw, you won't be replacing it very soon. Unless, of course, you burn the screen and make it hard on the eyes. brooks@maddog.llnl.gov, brooks@maddog.uucp
