vlock' (which is not
really useful without the -a).

which is annoying since -a is not very multiuser friendly, granted this is often not to big a problem since usually there is only one person at a time using the console. (or preferably only trusted users...)

it would be nice if there was a way to lock only the ttys owned by that piticular user, i think that might not be easy to implement however...

it would also be nice if i could lock the console while an intereactive program is running and still switch back to X and have a pretty screensaver <g> (yes i know about lockvc, it just segfaults when you enter any old password on my system :( )
