i3lock - improved screen locker
|
|
|
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
|
i3lock is a simple screen locker like slock. After starting it, you will
|
|
|
|
|
see a white screen (you can configure the color/an image). You can return
|
|
|
|
|
to your screen by entering your password.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many little improvements have been made to i3lock over time:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- i3lock forks, so you can combine it with an alias to suspend to RAM
|
|
|
|
|
(run "i3lock && echo mem > /sys/power/state" to get a locked screen
|
|
|
|
|
after waking up your computer from suspend to RAM)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- You can specify either a background color or a PNG image which will be
|
|
|
|
|
displayed while your screen is locked.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- You can specify whether i3lock should bell upon a wrong password.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- i3lock uses PAM and therefore is compatible with LDAP etc.
|
|
|
|
|
On OpenBSD i3lock uses the bsd_auth(3) framework.

Running i3lock
|
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
|
Simply invoke the 'i3lock' command. To get out of it, enter your password and
|
|
|
|
|
press enter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On OpenBSD the `i3lock` binary needs to be setgid `auth` to call the
|
|
|
|
|
authentication helpers, e.g. `/usr/libexec/auth/login_passwd`.
