$ cat /etc/debian_version 2.0 $ vlock --version vlock version 1.0 $ vlock --help vlock: locks virtual consoles, saving your current session. Usage: vlock [options] Where [options] are any of: -c or --current: lock only this virtual console, allowing user to switch to other virtual consoles. -a or --all: lock all virtual consoles by preventing other users from switching virtual consoles. -v or --version: Print the version number of vlock and exit. -h or --help: Print this help message and exit. $ who am i bx3!t107234 tty7 Feb 27 12:39 $ (sleep 2s; chvt 8)& vlock -a => all VTs locked; chvt blocked somehow $ chvt 8; vlock -a => vt changed to 8 & tty7 locked so that if anyone changes to tty7 then the entire console will be locked... sick? ;)
