[Grml-devel] [Tails-dev] Shared screen locking solution for live distributions in Debian

Right. I tried both grml-lock as advertised by Evgeni and vlock as
advertised by you.

Actually, grml-lock provides a similar user experience as the one that
we imagined for Tails: if you didn't set a password it asks for one
before locking the screen.

On the other hand as Julien pointed out, the --new option of vlock is
broken right now and as a consequence grml-lock doesn't work. Both in a
console and in X it errors with "vlock: loading plugin 'new' failed: No
such file or directory". Shall I report a Grml bug about that?
