Bug#4170: vlock can make the system unusable

["Peter Tobias" <tobias@server.et-inf.fho-emden.de>]

Package: vlock
Version: 0.8-3

You can block a system for a while using vlock. Just type
vlock -a and press the <Return> key for a few seconds (or minutes).
Result: You can't log in for a couple of minutes.

There should either be an option to avoid the calls to the sleep()
function or vlock shouldn't accept keyboard input while it sleeps.


Thanks,

Peter
