I use vlock on a console-only computer with fbterm (a frame buffer terminal emulator) and no install of X11.
The removal of the new.so module prevents vlock from functioning on my setup. In fbterm I could only get vlock working with "vlock -ans" - not with "vlock -as" which gives me the error: "This is not a virtual console" I'm not quite sure here but I'm guessing that the new.so module circumvened that fbterm doesn't register as a virtual console and I for one would like the module back. - Andreas
