>>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, .^.
