- There are several ways of locking the terminal. You can do "xinit -T", which
- will disable the "<Ctrl><Alt><Bs>" key sequence, for instance.
-
- I run "open xinit &" then logout. X is running in one "<Ctrl><Alt><Bs>"'able
- window, but the login prompt is on hft/0. You can still cycle between windows
- with "<Ctrl><Alt><Bs>", but since the login prompt is the only thing on the
- other window, xlock in effect works.
-
- Under these circumstances xlock runs fine. In any kind of large or accessable
- environment I would alway recommend locking your terminal.
