Xlock is not Secure


Posted on Oct 30, 2009 by Happy Bird

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Setup Xlock with password 2. Activate Screensaver 3. Str+Alt+Backspace 4. xwin startjwm

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? A screensaver with password communicates some kind of 'security'. Although you need puppy/linux knowledge to know the 'trick', the hole should be closed if possible.
