Important!

==========

As of October 7, 2012 I (Joel Burget) have given up maintainership of this

project. Development is currently happening at

https://github.com/dannyn/slimlock and as part of the original

[slim project](http://git.berlios.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=slim;a=summary).

slimlock - unholy screen locker

===============================

This is the Frankenstein's monster of screen lockers. I had the horrible

idea to graft SLiM and slock together to create the screen locker that should

have never been.

Slimlock reads your SLiM config files and uses the same interface. If you use

SLiM already, then it should work for you automatically.

Requirements and Building

-------------------------

Requires X11, imlib2, freetype, pam. Change CFGDIR in the makefile to the

directory containing you `slim.conf`. As root, install with `make` then `make

install`.

Running slimlock

----------------

Run with `slimlock`.

Configuration

-------------

Slimlock reads SLiM's `slim.conf` and `slimlock.conf`, which should be at

`$CFGDIR/etc/slimlock.conf`. The currently available settings and their defaults

are:

-	`dpms_standby_timeout`: number of seconds of inactivity before the screen

	blanks.

	-	Default: 60

-	`dpms_off_timeout`: same as above, but the screen turns off.

	-	Default: 600

-	`wrong_passwd_timeout`: number of seconds after entering an incorrect password

	before slimlock will accept another attempt.

	-	Default: 2

-	`passwd_feedback_msg`: message to display after a failed authentication

	attempt.

	-	Default: "Authentication failed"

-	`passwd_feedback_capslock`: message to display after a failed authentication

	attempt if the CapsLock is on.

	-	Default: "Authentication failed (CapsLock is on)"

-	`show_username`: whether or not to display the username on themes with only a

	single input box. 1 to show, 0 to disable.

	-	Default: 1

-	`show_welcome_msg`: whether or not to display SLiM's welcome message. 1 to

	show, 0 to disable.

	-	Default: 0

-	`tty_lock`: whether or not to allow virtual terminals switching. 1 to

	disallow, 0 to allow.

	-	Default: 1

-	`bell`: whether to ring the bell on authentication failure. 1 to

	enable, 0 to disable.

	-	Default: 1
