Hi guys,

This bit of the conversation interested, me, the act of locking a
workstation, I know that it is possible in Windows NT, but is it
possible in Linux? I know that KDE has the "screen lock" thing, but then
is it not possible to have the machine switch into a different terminal
using CTRL+ALT+An F Key? 

So what do you recommend for keeping the machine secure when you leave
it off? At a LAN Party when I took my PC and I left that open, I just
left it with a login terminal on the screen by my Xsession was still
open in the background along with some other stuff.

Thanks 
Shak
