Patch to add the -wslunlock option in xscreensaver-command
I forgot to mention that the supplied patch applies to xscreensaver 4.22. Fedora Core 4 comes with version 4.21, hopefuly it won't be incompatible. As I said when Brian mailed me about this, this patch is no good. Adding domain-specific knowledge about this particular device to xscreensaver not a general solution. The right way to solve this problem is to write a PAM module that knows about your security dongle. It would go like this: - xscreensaver is running - user jiggles mouse - xscreensaver asks PAM, "shall we unlock the screen?" - PAM says "yes (because the dongle is in range)" Hi Dimitris, We aren't likely to commit this type of patch without upstream buy-in. Thank you all for taking the time to look at this patch. |
