Automatic enable for screen lock in vnc
Hello,
I am using Redhat 5.0 OS, i want that the screen or session to be locked if machine is idle for few minutes. I have enabled screensaver lock on my machine and it works for my machine. But i have created vnc server's as well for my machine which i access from my windows machine.
So for my vncsession's it doesn't work. I have to explicitly click on "Lock Session" to enable screen saver with password.
I have set it on my machine using System -> Screen saver properties.
Can any one please help me to achieve this for my vncsessions as well.
thanks

DESCRIPTION
produces output similar to the output of the HP-UX command for all machines on the local network that are running the daemon (see who(1)
and rwhod(1M)). If has not received a report from a machine for 11 minutes, assumes the machine is down and does not report users last
known to be logged into that machine.
output line has fields for the name of the user, the name of the machine, the user's terminal line, the time the user logged in, and the
amount of time the user has been idle. Idle time is shown as:
If a user has not typed to the system for a minute or more, reports this as idle time. If a user has not typed to the system for an hour
or more, the user is omitted from output unless the flag is given.
An example output line from would look similar to:
This output line could be interpreted as is logged into and his terminal line is has been logged on since September 12 at 13:28 (1:28
p.m.). has not typed anything into for 11 minutes.
