Package: vlock Version: 1.3-9 Followup-For: Bug #191963 Hello,
I figured out as well that the Magic SysRQ key can kill vlock. I'd add to the voice of adding support for it in vlock, as it looks like the stock Debian kernels have the sequence enabled: $ grep SYSRQ /boot/config-2.6.16-1-686 CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y this means that vlock isn't locking the console on any default Debian system. Alternatively, one could ask the kernel maints to turn off the SysRQ key by default. Alternatively, I was wrong with determining that the sequence is enabled by default :) This can be implemented in a resilient way, with fallbacks if /proc is not mounted and so on. It could even be turned on with an extra commandline parameter, like "vlock -a --sysrq" Let me know if you would like me to provide a patch.
