slock - simple screen locker ============================ simple screen locker utility for X. Changes by chjj ------------ - Custom Password: You can provide a custom password so you don't have to enter your user password on the X server. Simply create a ~/.slock_passwd file with your separate password in it. - Alarms: A siren will play if a user enters an incorrect password. It must reside in ~/slock. - Automatic Shutdown: Your machine will immediately shutdown if: 1. The wrong password is entered more than 5 times. 2. ALT/CTRL/F1-F13 is pressed to switch VTs or to try to kill the X server. Also, if ALT+SYSRQ is attempted to be used. - Automatic shutdown requires a sudoers option to be set in /etc/sudoers: - systemd: `[username] [hostname] =NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/systemctl poweroff` - sysvinit: `[username] [hostname] =NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/shutdown -h now` You must change [username] and [hostname] to your username and the hostname of the machine. - Twilio Support: You will receive an SMS to your phone when someone inputs a wrong password or pressed ALT/CTRL/F1-13/SYSRQ. See twilio_example.h to create a twilio.h file. You will need a twilio account to set this up. - Disabling alt+sysrq and ctrl+alt+backspace before shutting down: This prevents an attacker from killing the screenlock quickly before the shutdown. - This requires a sudoers option to be set in /etc/sudoers: - [username] [hostname] =NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/tee /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq You must change [username] and [hostname] to your username and the hostname of the machine.
