It might be a seperately installed program. As for my knowledge, to lock your session, you could always simply lock the screen or session. You can use the 'xlock' command for this. To unlock, you simply type your password. The 'xlock' utility unfortunately locks the entire X session and not just the shell. To lock only the shell, you could use a utility such as 'vlock' (http://cthulhu.c3d2.de/~toidinamai/vlock/vlock.html).
