NAME

lock − reserve a terminal

SYNOPSIS

lock

DESCRIPTION

Lock requests a password from the user, then prints "LOCKED" on the screen.  It refuses to relinquish the terminal until the password is repeated.  A user who forgets the password has no other recourse but to log in elsewhere and kill the lock process. 

BUGS

The lock should time out after fifteen minutes.
