Hi >How would one lock a telnet screen so one could walk away from their >station without closing the connection? Use the 'lock' command (installed AFAIR by default), e.g. Ka0s:/$ lock -t 30 (This will lock the terminal for 30 minutes and then return to the prompt - make sure you set it high enough and that your back in time, otherwise someone may gain access to your account). It asks for a password to lock the terminal with and will return only when the correct password is entered. L8rz KrOnUs
