I don't use X much and instead use lots of Virtual Terminals.

Since I'm on dialup, sometimes I need to leave multiple VTs open to do
things, perhaps downloading something, or its just that I'm in the
middle of things.  

How can I lock the whole virtual termial setup?  lock(1) only lets me
lock the one VT without blocking the ability to switch to others.  On
Debian, there's vlock -a that does this.  I don't see anything similar
in the available packages for OBSD.

I can't read code so I don't know how lock(1) works internally.  To get
it to lock everything, I guess it would have to capture the Alt-Fn key
combo.  However, the OS (wscons(4)?) likely captures that before the
keys get passed on to the application.  So I'm sorry, I can't provide a
patch.

Any suggestions?

Doug.
