.TH ALOCK 1
|
||||
.SH NAME
|
||||
alock \- Lock X display until password supplied
|
||||
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||||
.B alock
|
||||
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
.B alock
|
||||
locks the X server till the user enters their password at the keyboard.
|
||||
|
||||
While
|
||||
.B alock
|
||||
is running, the mouse and keyboard are grabbed and the mouse cursor
|
||||
becomes a padlock. Output displayed by X programs, and windows put up
|
||||
by new X clients, continue to be visible, and any new output is
|
||||
displayed normally, except you run in -blank mode. Then the content
|
||||
of the Screen is hidden behind a black Window.
|
||||
|
||||
The mouse and keyboard are returned when the user types their
|
||||
password, followed by Enter or Newline. If an incorrect password is
|
||||
entered the bell is sounded. Pressing Backspace or Delete erases one
|
||||
character of a password partially typed; pressing Escape or Clear
|
||||
clears anything that has been entered.
|
||||
|
||||
If too many attempts are made in too short a time further keystrokes
|
||||
generate bells and are otherwise ignored until a timeout has expired.
|
||||
|
||||
The X server screen saver continues to operate normally; if it comes
|
||||
into operation the display may be restored by the usual means of
|
||||
touching a key (Shift, for example) or the mouse.
|
||||
.SH OPTIONS, X RESOURCES, CONFIGURATION
|
||||
None.
|
||||
.SH BUGS
|
||||
Additional input devices other than the keyboard and mouse are not
|
||||
disabled.
|
||||
|
||||
The timeouts, bitmaps and mouse cursor colour cannot be modifed.

||||
|
||||
NAME
|
||||
----
|
||||
alock - locks the local X display until a password is entered.
|
||||
|
||||
SYNOPSIS
|
||||
--------
|
||||
'alock' [-h] [-v] [-bg type:opts] [-cursor type:opts] [-auth type:opts]
|
||||
|
||||
DESCRIPTION
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
alock locks the X server till the user enters a password at the
|
||||
keyboard. If the authentification was successful the X server is
|
||||
unlocked and the user can continue to work.
|
||||
|
||||
alock does not provide fancy animations like 'xlock' and 'xscreensaver'
|
||||
and never will. Its just for locking the current X session.

||||
'pam' - Tries to authentificate against the users system-password
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
and compares it with the hash provided as option

||||

|
||||
