Subject: vlock command
Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2012 11:35:09 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121114103509.GD1835@x2.net.home> (raw)
vlock(1) - Virtual Console lock program
This nice and small program used by admins on machines with consoles
only. Unfortunately it has inactive upstream(s).
The original upstream for vlock-1.3 at
ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/usr.bin/
is inactive for years. There is also new upstream at
http://freecode.com/projects/vlock
http://repo.or.cz/w/vlock.git
but this also seems inactive and from my point of view vlock-2.x is
over-engineering rhapsody (glib, plug-ins, dependences resolver,
external scripts etc.)
What about to merge vlock-1.3 into utils-linux? It's 630 lines of code
(including unnecessary non-PAM code).
Comments & Objections?
Karel
