Hi,
I often have to leave my students with my laptop and e.g. go to scan some documents or to receive printed papers from the printer room. Then I have to lock the console when leaving, and unlock it when
coming back.
As my login password is quite long, it is uncomfortable to enter it (especially
with my students watching my keyboard ;-) ) after every return.
I think it could be nice to have a possibility to use a special configuration
of screen-locker, using another, shorter and simpler password...
Well I have a quick&dirty workaround - I have a special account with minimal
privileges (e.g. with access to networked blocked in iptables) and really simple
password.
I have this user logged in in one text console. So when leaving, I can switch to this
console (with Alt+Ctrl+F1) and run "vlock -a". This is not very elegant, but
working...
Unfortunately my VFS5011 fingerprint scanner is not supported in Linux :-(.
