In X or in console?

In X there are several screen lockers, from xscreensaver to some lighter ones like xtrlock.

How do they not auto-lock? You need to be more descriptive.

There is a problem in the xscreensaver extension that the main binary is not setuid root. Other than that, it works fine when configured to lock the screen (and a password has been set, obviously).

Please PM the extension creator about the permission issue.

Add etc/passwd and etc/shadow to /opt/.filetool.lst and do a backup.
