If a user had the ability to lock the system against anyone else, I would call that a bug. As it is, a user has the ability to lock its sessions. That's the purpose of xlock and likes. And if the same user or another user has the ability to switch to a new console and start its own X server or shell, I call that a multiuser system. So, as I see it, one is doing things as it should... Regards, Luciano Rocha
