Linux Setting the screen to lock with password protection
Problem: Linux Setting the screen to lock with password protection for all users
Here we have powerful server for every user with X windows access. So we need the screen to lock with password protection after a specified time period for all logged in users of the system. Solution: => Login to system (for example as the tom user) => Use xscreensaver command to setup screen save and screen lock time => Now a file called xscreensaver created in my home directory ( /home/tom/.xscreensaver ) => Now copy this file to every user on system (you may need to login as the root). For example for user1: Code:
cp /home/tom/.xscreensaver /home/user1/ chown user1:user1 /home/user1/.xscreensaver Code:
cp /home/tom/.xscreensaver /etc/skel useradd user1000 passwd user1000 ls –l /home/user1000/.xscreensaver
