Re: [foxboro] autologoff on Solaris 8 machines.

I'll send you the C source code in the next day or so.
PS. fox_autologoff is a slightly-modified version of gnu's xlock.

I just got, what I think, is the best answer here from the Sun Admin
list. Turns out that in Solaris 8 the shell (sh) drops enhanced permissions
when it's called, unless it's called with a -p flag.

So, can anyone tell me where I can find the source code for fox_autologoff?
Since I'll need to make a trivial change in how it calls teh scripts.
