Does anyone know of a screen locking program that will work on an
x-terminal. In particular we are using an ncd 19. I've tried running the
latest xlock (sccs version 22.4). It locks the screen, but once I've
entered my password I get the following:

X Protocol error detected by server: attempt to access private resource
  Failed request major op code 111 X_SetAccessControl
  Failed request minor op code 0 (if applicable)
  ResourceID 0x40000004 in failed request (if applicable)
  Serial number of failed request 991
  Current serial number in output stream 997
 
If I try and run any x programs after this I get 

Server is not authorized to connect to host
X Toolkit Error: Can't Open display: 

And if I try and run xlock again I get

xlock: can't lock pike's display

(pike is the terminal name).

Does anyone have a locking program that will work, or a patch to xlock
to make it work?

Thanks,

Chris
