Yep. But the previous poster is talking about doing this every time you switch to another tty. Which would be, IMHO, a terrible idea, since every user with two bits of experience goes to a text console to compile stuff or to run things, and switch back and forth continuously. > > > Likewise the text console mod would blank the console when it lost focus, > > and demand a password before unblanking when focus returned. Umm.. there should be an easy way to disable all of this stuff, right? Damian -- -- I don't want Windows to be only for the 31173. Yes, we've come a long way from all those security holes, virii, and cryptic commands like "Edit textfile.txt" (what in the hell is that supposed to mean?)
