After seeing the myriad of suggestions thrown at the fellow I thought I will
also jump into the fray
vlock command is your friend
<From man vlock>
vlock is a program to lock one or more sessions on the Linux console.
This is especially useful for Linux machines which have multiple users
with access to the console. One user may lock his or her session(s)
while still allowing other users to use the system on other virtual
consoles. If desired, the entire console may be locked and virtual
console switching disabled.
</From man vlock>
I think the above will satisfy all your requirements and yes it works from
putty also. I just tested it.
