Indeed. I'll return to the suggestion to use DontVTSwitch. With a locked sceen it is effective in preventing switching to a console with CTRL+ALT+FN and chvt even if the sudo timeout hasn't been reached. An unlocked screen plus 'ps ax' and 'kill' enable the bringing down of X no matter what the length of the sudo timeout is or whether DontVTSwitch is operational. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
