For which OS? Solaris? HP-UX? Linux? Irix? *BSD? AIX? Pls state the OS also with your Kernel.

physically prohibit access to keyboard?
Are you talking about physically locking your keyboard? There are hard plastic covers that you can buy, but that is going a little overboard...

If you can use the lock command or logout if it is a telnet session which might be even better than lock.

I don't really understand you need to restrict physical access. Even I am not that paranoid!

how to lock keyboard without using lock command
You can either Modify your /etc/csh.cshrc and /etc/csh.login file to set a timeout. Else you can set your shell prompt to freeze the screen after certain time or no-activity. I code a csh using autologout : the shell variable can be set to log out or lock the shell after a given number of minutes of inactivity.

trynew: Hope the Explanation can be seen towards more Unix oriented and user friendly on this Forum.
