- A long time I was looking for a utility to lock the screen of an ASCII
- terminal, something like lockscreen or xlock, but didn't find
- anything.
-
- OK, here is "locktty". To keep it portable even for systems with a
- shadow password file, I keep the crypted password in a file in the
- user's home directory. If the file does not exist, the user is
- prompted for a password.
-
- The password file can be changed by using the -p option.
-
- The program is without any changes successfully tested on
- - SunOS 4.1,
- - Interactive ix/386 2.0.2,
- - Ultrix Worksystem V2.1 (Rev. 14),
- - HP-UX 7.00.
-
- Just type "make".
