There is a new upstream version, vlock-0.9, which contains patches
I sent to the author.  It has some bug fixes, actually works (wow!)
and supports shadow passwords better (just compile with -DSHADOW_PWD
and install it setuid root - and it should work with both shadow and
non-shadow passwords; it drops root privileges as soon as possible).

I think we should upgrade vlock to the current upstream version.
If no one else does it, I might do it myself, it's a small package.
