I realize now that _I_ mixed up things at that page. Sorry!

Still that loop seems to only work in environments less secure than
Debian-based.

Try the following (based on Finn-Arnes loop and your xlock syntax - I
haven't tested myself):

who | while read WHO WHERE WHEN ; do
  case $WHERE in
    :[0-9]*)
      su -c "xlock -remote -mode blank -display $WHERE &" $WHO
      ;;
    esac
  done

You may need to add the "-allowaccess" option (but I am a bit suspicious
about it).

You may also need to install and use sux (instead of su). It is a shell
script so even if unavailable on Woody you should be able to copy it
from a sarge of sid package (use mc to go into the package and grab the
script directly).
