And one more query, I enabled ScreenSaver with password, screen saver was working, but its not asking password, when I disturb the PC.

Pls, help me in these.

Hi

Thanks a lot. xlock working fine.

But I've a doubt, why that lock screen button is not working. I'm using Redhat Enterprise Linux 3.0, "Lock Screen" is available in main menu. When I click "Lock Screen", nothing is poped up.


Bye...

Perhaps it is trying to run the wrong command (or the right command with the wrong path). Does the command xlock work now? Check its path with "which xlock", right-click on the lock button and check the settings.
