Description martikka 2000-09-18 07:14:44 UTC 
Screen locking in apmscript does not work properly for root.
There are couple of bugs in apmscripts (incorrent version was submitted to
bero).
Here's the fix:

66,67c66,67
<                               if [ "X$Usern" = "Xroot" ]; then
<                                       su $Usern -c "xlock -display
$XDisp" &>/dev/null &
---
>                               if [ "x$Usern" = "Xroot" ]; then
>                                       xlock -display $XDisp &>/dev/null &


Anyway the screen-locking is a crude hack... :)
Comment 1 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2000-09-23 15:33:47 UTC 
This is fixed in 3.0final-20 (and probably -19 and -18).
Comment 2 martikka 2000-10-05 16:15:54 UTC 
The X=x test was fixed, but it seems that "su $Usern -c " fix was omitted.
Xlock doesn't work without su (at least for me).
