Home: http://www.suckless.org/programs/slock.html
Version: 0.9

Quote:
Simple X display locker. Really this is the simplest X screen locker we are aware of. It is stable and quite a lot people in this community are using it every day when they are out with friends or fetching some food from the local pub.


Usage is simple, open a console and type 'slock'. To get back, type your pw (only type and return, no inputbox).

NOTE: This uses the user-pw, in puppy-case the pw for root. In 4.00 default-pw is 'woofwoof'. If you're wrong retry or reboot.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

If you want an advanced version, try pupslock by goingnuts: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=70827

slock is really a nice and tiny app.! I have been using it for a while but was missing some indication of it running...
So I modified the source to show an image - view below. The binary is in the attached tar.gz-file + a source-code-patch-file.

hi goingnuts,

nice one Wink (although some might say, it's a security-feature that there is no indication of it's running).

thanks
aragon

Nice and simple. One little thing maybe worth adding is to disable the Ctrl keys, so Ctrl-Alt-F2 (etc.) and Ctrl-Alt-Bksp can't be used to get around the lock. Lobster added that functionality to xlock. To use it with slock, just launch slock with a script like this:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#runs slock

# disable ctrl-alt-backspace by disabling ctrl key...
xmodmap -e 'keycode 37='
xmodmap -e 'keycode 109='

slock

# restore...
xmodmap -e 'keycode 37=Control_L'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 109=Control_R'

I called it "lock," put it in /usr/local/bin, and gave it execute permissions. Works great. Just use the command "lock" instead of "slock".
