>>Use screen.  When you leave type ^A^X to lock the terminal

Hmm.. interesting.. So... I do

[ow_mh@hmweb xinetd.d]$ screen
 
I go to a new prompt

I type in ^A^X, I get a password prompt.

I go to loo

I type in my password

and then put in ^D and get back my original session??

Is that the correct sequence?? I tried the above and it works!! Nobody can
access it and it won't respond to  ^C ^D ^Z etc.. so.. that's cool



Cheers,                                                 .^.
