Is it something I said? re:locking

[Dan Mahoney, System Admin]

All,

I apologize if I've argued a bit fervently in the past for what I felt was 
a simple feature (i.e. support for screen to also use the "attach" 
password as a "lock" password on systems that do not support either pam or 
getpass() and thus have no way of knowing what password to otherwise use 
to lock the screen.)

I feel like I may have overexplained things, or maybe in speaking to a 
linux crowd that's somehow used to pam working, have needled out my 
edge-case.

At any rate, I got zero replies after a certain point.

Maybe it was my over-explaining, maybe my tone came across as 
talking-down, and maybe I just sounded like a loon.

What I am asking for is a patch of likely less-than-five-lines that will 
not change any behavior for people outside this edge case (since it's 
within "#ifndef pam").  I can't write the patch, but I'd at least 
appreciate being told "you're hosed, go push a rope" or something similar, 
if such is the case.

Thanks,

-Dan Mahoney
