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

LOCK(1) BSD General Commands Manual LOCK(1)
NAME
lock -- reserve a terminal
SYNOPSIS
lock [-npv] [-t timeout]
DESCRIPTION
The lock utility requests a password from the user, reads it again for verification and then will normally not relinquish the terminal until
the password is repeated. There are two other conditions under which it will terminate: it will timeout after some interval of time and it
may be killed by someone with the appropriate permission.
The following options are available:
-n Do not use a timeout value. Terminal will be locked forever.
-p A password is not requested, instead the user's current login password is used.
-t timeout
The time limit (default 15 minutes) is changed to timeout minutes.
-v Disable switching virtual terminals while this terminal is locked. This option is implemented in a way similar to the -S option of
vidcontrol(1), and thus has the same restrictions. It is only available if the terminal in question is a syscons(4) or vt(4) virtual
terminal.
SEE ALSO
vidcontrol(1), syscons(4), vt(4)
HISTORY
The lock command appeared in 3.0BSD.
BSD
July 10, 2002 BSD
