Just in case since the bug is still open. Add youself to the unix group
vlock and it works as expected using vlock 2.2.2.

Then you probably should put something like
# comment out the following line if you have a root password set
# and want to lock as root
authsufficient pam_rootok.so
@include common-auth
into /etc/pam.d/vlock. That way users will at least be unable to lock
themselves out of their machines
The problem is if your root account does not have a password (which is by
default on Ubuntu). If you do :
$ sudo -s
# vlock
On a standard Ubuntu installation you can not unlock vlock.

You received this bug notification because
vlock uses the "vlock" PAM service, defaulting to "other" as every PAM
application does. Just provide an /etc/pam.d/vlock that does allow root
to authenticate.

Confirming, but I do not see how we could deal with that.
