Just adopt hmac_sha256[1] into slock.c and put your pw hash into config.h and deploy slock into your $HOME/bin if the system is shared, or do it globally if not. I don't see the need to rely on file or pipe access to read a password hash from. [1] http://www.aarongifford.com/computers/sha.html BR, Anselm
