Hi Sun-Managers

I don't want to make money, I have e "real" question :-)  :

Is there a way to prevent other users that make an rlogin on my machine
to lock **my** X-Server with **their** xlock.
I tried with even removing the localhost from the access control (with
xhost -), but the other user is able to using the xlock command without
setting the DISPLAY variable first.

Thanks, Patrick
