I've been investigating the screen locking mechanism of those various Debian based live distributions, and I found out that none of them had a real mechanism to do so. They either:
- Do not provide any screen locking mechanism (Knoppix, Grml, Jondo Live).
At least for grml, that's wrong. grml-full ships vlock which can lock all consoles (and switching back to X) at once with the option "-a".
I though don't know if it works from under X, but it works fine if you switch to a text console first, e.g. with Ctrl-Alt-F1.
What do you think? Please answer to tails-dev@boum.org and feel free to subscribe to the list to follow the thread:
