It should "just work". You can either trigger it by entering the slock command in a terminal emulator or by setting up a keyboard shortcut, desktop icon, whatever, in your window manager of choice that executes the slock command for you. To get it to unlock, just type in the password for the user account logged in to X before you locked the X Window System display and hit Enter. For more about slock and other options for locking your screen, you can check out this article: Lock Your Screen While Away From The Computer http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/security/?p=3D4504 I hope that helps. --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] --qDbXVdCdHGoSgWSk Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk3FsnUACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKVa4gCfTzqrk+waOv4iBzHZnUNnIjBY szIAn0S+HkrsDeBFIKIrCNsVRjiKSMMP =UpcI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --qDbXVdCdHGoSgWSk--
