wslock

wslock is a simple X screen locker. Similar to slock and i3lock. In fact, wslock is more like a stripped version of i3lock, implementing its own event-loop to drop libev dependancy. i3lock just using libev for its timer anyway. With PAM support (optional).

Installation

make && sudo make install

Needs root privilege to set setuid permission properly if not using PAM to auth. for wslock needs root to read from shadow file for hashed password, and then drop root privilege.

Usage:

Just

./wslock

and then input your password then Enter to exit.
