NAME

lock — reserve a terminal

SYNOPSIS

lock

DESCRIPTION

lock requests a password from the user, then prints LOCKED on the terminal and refuses to relinquish the terminal until the password is repeated. If the user forgets the password, the only recourse is to log in elsewhere and kill the lock process.
