Hi,
I Sco unix, there was a nice command line utility to lock a console / terminal session.
It would display an (optional) banner, and unlock only on supplying a password.
Is there any such command in linux ?
Thanks Shahed.

Yes there is the vlock utility in Linux that lets you lock you terminal sessions. Also there's xlock, which can lock your X sessions.
