- The version of xlock you want is the one that accepts the "-remote" option.
- This allows a "remote" host to lock one the Xstation's display.
-
- As far as network load, if you want fancy graphics I agree. However, you can
- always run xlock with "-mode blank", which just locks the display, no network
- load at all.
-
- What I really want, of course, is to have IBM provide xlock as a local client
- (loaded when the X server is loaded at Xstation boot). Then I could do all the
- fancy graphics I want with no network load, since xlock would be running on the
- Xstation, not on a remote host :)
