NAME

lock − reserve a terminal

SYNOPSIS

lock

DESCRIPTION

Lock requests a password from the user, then prints "This terminal is locked -- do not disturb" on the terminal and refuses to relinquish the terminal until the password is repeated.  If the user forgets the password, he has no other recourse but to login elsewhere and kill the lock process. 

BUGS

Should timeout after 15 minutes.
