xlock or xscreensaver?

[dictum9]

I am running Exceed X-Windows emulator and would like to use xlock or xscreensaver. Neither one of these is present on 11.23.

Ideas?

Hi,

are you using exceed to start cde on a pc?

if yes, you have two choises, remember however enabling cde screen saver takes up CPU time on the remote system, in addition to generating more network traffic.

-1- enable cde screensaver
right click your mouse in cde, tools, desktop controls, screen style manager.

-2- enable your windows screensaver

Hope this helps,
Robert-Jan

Hi,

Isn't it very is to use Windows lock and screen saver.

I think, evebn if you lock from exceed, and not locked your PC, some one can kill and start a new session, though he need to enter passwd again.

To me it looks like windows lock should do.

Best of luck

I am not running CDE.. just xterm and whatever x application I need.

Hi,

I am using Exceed, just opened a window as xterm. I do not think you can lock a xterm window. With CDE, you get a full desktop, so it's valid locking, screen saving, etc.

Xterm is another terminal emulator window with GUI.

Let's wait for experts comments...
