As of October 7, 2012 I (Joel Burget) have given up maintainership of this project. Development is currently happening at https://github.com/dannyn/slimlock and as part of the original slim project.
This is the Frankenstein's monster of screen lockers. I had the horrible idea to graft SLiM and slock together to create the screen locker that should have never been.
Slimlock reads your SLiM config files and uses the same interface. If you use SLiM already, then it should work for you automatically.
Requires X11, imlib2, freetype, pam. Change CFGDIR in the makefile to the
directory containing you slim.conf. As root, install with make then make install.
Run with slimlock.
Slimlock reads SLiM's slim.conf and slimlock.conf, which should be at
$CFGDIR/etc/slimlock.conf. The currently available settings and their defaults
are:
dpms_standby_timeout: number of seconds of inactivity before the screen blanks.- Default: 60
dpms_off_timeout: same as above, but the screen turns off.- Default: 600
wrong_passwd_timeout: number of seconds after entering an incorrect password before slimlock will accept another attempt.- Default: 2
passwd_feedback_msg: message to display after a failed authentication attempt.- Default: "Authentication failed"
passwd_feedback_capslock: message to display after a failed authentication attempt if the CapsLock is on.- Default: "Authentication failed (CapsLock is on)"
show_username: whether or not to display the username on themes with only a single input box. 1 to show, 0 to disable.- Default: 1
show_welcome_msg: whether or not to display SLiM's welcome message. 1 to show, 0 to disable.- Default: 0
tty_lock: whether or not to allow virtual terminals switching. 1 to disallow, 0 to allow.- Default: 1
bell: whether to ring the bell on authentication failure. 1 to enable, 0 to disable.- Default: 1
