tlock-v1.4 Hello all, I am pleased to realese this version(1.4) of tlock. tlcok(or terminal lock) is simple console based application to lock the terminal with password string provided by user, or with her login password, as needed. The password is kept in memory encrypted using crypt(3). tlock is realesed under version 2(or at your option any later) of GPL, so you are free to fiddle with it as per your needs, as long as you comply with the GPL. Installation: ============= To install tlock, go to the directory containing source of tlock, and follow these steps as root user... prompt>$ ./configure prompt>$ make prompt># make install for more information about usage and general options pro- vided by tlock refere the manual page of tlock or... prompt>$ tlock --help prompt>$ man tlock About librpass (-lrpass): ========================= librpass, is a static library installed with tlock, it provides a function readpass(). readpass, reads in password string from standard input of process and returns it back, AS IS, to the calling application. While fetching password from standard input, readpass first turns off echo of input characters, and generation of signal(s) through keystrokes, reads in the password, again turns on the character echo and signal generation, and returns a character pointer pointing at password string to the calling application. To use libr- pass in your application, you need to include header <read- pass.h>, and link it with your application using â-lrpassâ switch. for more information about usage of readpass, see manual page of readpass(3). Problems: ========= If you encounter any problems while installing tlock, or find any bugs in working of tlock; please send an email to <pj.pandit@yahoo.co.in> mentioning about the problem/bug, and while doing so please include âtlock-<version>â string in the subject line.
