I'd like some security in DSL

a login-screen at boottime
a way to lock the session/keyboard

I found xlockmore (deb) but i don't know the root-password (and i can't specify as which user i want to unlock dsl)

I managed to lock the PC (with Xscreensaver.dsl) and added in .xinitrc the line: xscreensaver -nosplash & (just before the fluxbox-entry)

When the screensaver starts the PC is locked. (user = dsl, which is default, i changed the password of dsl with the command: passwd (sudo su in a term) and saved the changes in filetool.lst.

added these lines to filetool.lst:

/home/dsl/.xscreensaver
/etc/group
/etc/group~
/etc/group.org
/etc/passwd
/etc/passwd~
/etc/passwd.org
/etc/shadow
/etc/shadow~
/etc/shadow.org

I could of course put the: xscreensaver -nosplash line in a script and run it with a hotkey/keybinding in fluxbox. All i would have to do is to killall -9 xscreensaver at the end of the script. (so xscreensaver doesn't bother me any more when i have entered a password to unlock the PC)

Right now the screensaver (and lock) are activated after 5 minutes of inactivity. I like the xmatrix-screensaver :-)

Now all i want is a loginscreen at boottime....

Looks like the dsl-password won't stick! (is not being restored into the changed passwd at boottime)

(correction: i changed the ROOT password, i should have done this:
passwd dsl, in stead of just passwd)

The files ending with ~ are just backup files created while editing.  You don't need them.

Are you currently being logged in automatically as DSL, like with a liveCD?  If so, that's something which I think will have to be changed in order to set up a login screen.
You may want to look at this:
