Re: [vox-tech] Locking a console?
Thanks, Pete. vlock isn't available on the server I'm on. I tried compiling it separately but it doesn't work (it says to enter password but it's in an infinite loop, as though I ran vlock and held down the enter button, and without the delay that occurs under normal circumstances.) Apparently the PAM library isn't working well on this server, perhaps on purpose so people don't stay logged on. Thanks, anyway! :) -Mark -- Mark K.

Thanks, anyway! :) i hope you're not going to give up that easily! why don't you contact the author? it may be a known problem. anyway, i got vlock off of freshmeat. you might want to try there. kind of wierd. locking the console. i wonder if it takes the place of getty. but then you'd have to play tricks with init. some day i'll have to take a look at the source and see how it works. pete -- PGP Fingerprint: B9F1 6CF3 47C4 7CD8 D33E 70A9 A3B9 1945 67EA 951D PGP Public Key: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
Re: [vox-tech] Locking a console?
Oh that's much better than fortunelock! (I'm wondering if it can do fortunes or matrix stuff on the console at the same time? At the size of the archive probably not in the default inst..) (Or if there's a program that would do that. That was the problem I was having with fortunelock though, it was kinda weak, and only the current console, so yeah, vlock sounds very cool.) (I'm also curious if 'all console access' includes serial/whatever, I guess it would.) -Ajay -- Milpitas, ca[EMAIL PROTECTED]HempVille, Planet Talarian http://os2man.cjb.net/pictures/ I'd rather be forgotten than remembered for giving in... ___ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
