[comp.sys.sgi] Is there a lockscreen program?

dwatts@ki.UUCP (Dan Watts) (06/14/90)

Is there a program available for the SGI that works like the 'lockscreen'
function under SunView on Suns?  There are times that I'd really like to
just lock up the console without having to log off and then log back in.

Thanks in advance!
Dan

I developed such a program for use here at BRL.  I'll get it packaged up and
installed for anonymous FTP on vgr.brl.mil (128.63.16.6, 26.2.0.29,
192.5.23.6, 128.63.4.4) in info-iris/sgilock.tar.  It is important that you
read the man page / documentation. There are certain problems with the program
which I don't have a good workaround for.  Anyone providing fixes or
enhancements please relay them back to me.
