Description Need Real Name 2005-10-12 10:10:52 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050923 Epiphany/1.6.5

Description of problem:
vlock -a does not lock all screens, i.e. ^a^n will move to the password unprotected screen.

It would be nice if vlock warned users that it was running from within screen (screen has it's own locking function).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

  *** This tty is not a VC (virtual console). ***
  *** It may not be securely locked. ***

  This TTY is now locked.
  Please enter the password to unlock.
  root's Password:

Do you think that the sentence "It may not be securely locked." is not enough?
Well, I can add there some next extra message like "You're probably runnig
screen(1). Please, check screen documentation for correct locking.". But I think
the the actual warning is almost enough.

The message "it may not be securely locked" shows when you try to lock a virtual
console, but the docs say this message appears because virtual console locking
has been given less testing than real console locking.

When I run vlock from inside screen, the console is *definitely* not securely
locked - I can run ^AC to create a new console.

A screen specific warning would be good I think.

Comment 3 Karel Zak 2005-10-14 12:19:20 UTC

Done. Update to vlock-1.3-22.

Comment 4 Karel Zak 2005-10-14 12:20:22 UTC

Note that fixed in the development branch (FC5).
