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:
