The xlock screen locking program for X-10 allows you to lock your
workstation so that only you can unlock it with a password.  I
would like a version that has an option which allows someone else
to log you out, like the lockscreen program for suntools.  Does
anyone have such a version, or know where I can get one?

The point is that the ws is a resource I share with others in my
office; I shouldn't lock it with no way for others to use it.  On
the other hand, I don't want anyone else to by able to type commands
as me.  So, I want a lockscreen which allows either me to unlock
it, or anyone else to log me off of the ws without being able to
type commands as me.

I don't normally read these newsgroups, so please reply by e-mail
to me at harry@ucbarpa.berkeley.edu (or ...!ucbvax!ucbarpa!harry).

Thanks.
