On surface this is the correct configuration. I would try putting
something like: echo "lock" >> /tmp/lock.log to /etc/apm/suspend to see
if it's executed at all and then something like: pgrep xidle >>
/tmp/lock.log to see if xidle is running at that moment, then ls
/usr/local/bin/slock >> /tmp/lock.log.
Also would check for the correct permissions.
Please let us know what it was when you identify the problem.
BTW, you can put the timeout value and program to ~/.Xresources and just
execute xidle &.

One remaining issue is getting the screen to lock when the laptop lid is closed

I have the following in my .xsession:
bsd$ cat .xsession
xidle -timeout 300 -program "/usr/local/bin/slock" &
Any help greatly appreciated.
xidle locks on SIGUSR1, so you could send it such a signal upon
suspend.
With apmd enabled, add "pkill -USR1 xidle" to /etc/apm/suspend
Thank you. I should have said, I have the following:
bsd# cat /etc/apm/suspend
#!/bin/sh
pkill -USR1 xidle
and that file is executable.
