I have a somewhat unusual requirement for which I found no solution in the FMs. I need to share a 3/60 console between two people, one working on it a few hours in the morning, the other in the afternoon. In between I want it to run lockscreen [or something to that effect] to prevent the screen contents to be burned into the hardware [;-)]. Is it possible for user A to run lockscreen and go home, while user B later kills lockscreen and logs in as user B? I don't want to go over there each time and enter user A's passwd just to do a decent logout. Killing lockscreen remotely is ugly [and I haven't even tried this]. I offer eternal gratitude for any valid pointers.
