/usr/bin/lock can be used to lock a terminal much like xlock does for your X-windows session. Problem is, /usr/bin/lock cannot lock your terminal indefinately. Rather you must specify a timeout value, after which, your terminal is unlocked and become unsecured. I have added a ``-n'' no timeout option to /usr/bin/lock Currently the only way to get this functionality is to use a huge timeout value and hope it is long enought (in time). This method also requires you to know the maxium number of minutes you are allowed to specify. Submitted by: David E. O'Brien <obrien@Nuxi.cs.ucdavis.edu>

will timeout after some interval of time and it may be killed by someone
