Hello
I've got fedora core 1 WindowMaker standalone as window manager.
I configured xscreensaver to lock the display after 5 minutes.
When the screen is locked the user is supposed not to be able to avoid
entering the password.
But if I press Ctrl+Alt+F1 I'm able to kill xsession with Ctrl+c and
hence gain the control to the system with the current user
privilegies.
How to deny this? I mean I want to block Ctrl+Alt+F1 (F2,...) from
xscreensaver.
Ctrl+Alt+F1 (F2,...) will take you to the console where anyone
can log on including root. If root logs on, they can kill the
screensaver. I know X has the 'Dont Zap' option but I am not sure
whether it applies in this case. A user has to be able to kill
the processes they start, so I think the only way to do what you
want is to not start X by using startx. You will have to start X
using one of gdm, xdm or kdm. Make sure that your XF86Config file
has all the 'Dont Zap/Kill' options set and this should work.
