- At the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, screen locking is
- not a problem because of watchdog, a program that logs out inactive
- accounts, locked screen or not. During long file transfers you are
- placed in an exception file that cannot be altered by hand....
- ie, if someone tries to put themselves in the file, they don't get
- the 'benefits'. During my stay there this seemed like an effective
- compromise. If you wanted a dawg program for yourself, a fairly
- simple way to implement it is to stat your tty for activity. I haven't
- tried this on xterms, but it ought to work.
