Dear Hackers!
Excuse me the disturbing. I'm a new Linux-user, i use it only for two weeks. Correct me, if i don't draft well, i'm not perfect in English.
I'm missing a function from the Linux. (I speak about a single computer, without network, and about the text mode, certainly.) One time more users can log in, but they can reach the other's tasks. And if i logged in, and i want a new shell i have to type my username and password again. I'd like to switch between my tasks, but if another people sit down to this computer (and i just suspended my tasks, and didn't logged out), they wouldn't reach my tasks.
For example: i can change users by Ctrl+Fn keys, and tasks (as now) by Alt+Fn. First user is joe, and the second is jack. Now jack is working, on his first consol. He press Alt+F2, and he gets a new shell, but he doesn't have to type his password. But when he press Ctrl+F1, he can't work until he types joe's password. And if he press Ctrl+Esc, he gets a list about the users currently logged in (and on what consol). Whe he press Alt+Esc, he gets a list about all tasks currently running (and on what consol).
It would be a good function, if more people use one computer by turns (for example a family).
Thanks for read me: Csaba Sebastian
