Termlock blanks a curses-compatible character
terminal (e.g. xterm, eterm, PuTTY, konsole,
dtterm, etc.) and locks it. To unlock the
terminal, a password must be entered. The
password, or rather the password hash, is stored
in ~/.termlock. Basically, it's like a
password-protected screensaver for character
terminals. Written in pure Python, it should be
immediately usable on any machine with Python and
curses (or a compatible library such as ncurses)
installed.
