Is there a program that puts up a screen or window and password locks the mouse & keyboard? I am new to the Iris world, and I'm not much of a C programmer. What I'd like to do is when I'll be away for a while, I'd like to call up this program that displays a full-screen window that is not close or push-able, securely locking out the screen until a password is entered on the keyboard. I want this because: a) It takes a long time to logout and login again, just to make your machine secure while going to the washroom or something, and b) How do you keep people from fiddling with your machine when running long-running graphics applications while you are away? /PJ SofPJF@VM.UoGuelph.Ca (Probably also reachable (until ?) at SOFPJF@UOGUELPH.BITNET) Never test for an error condition you don't know how to handle.
