Last week I was working with some new employees on a Linux Athena
system. Before I got there to help, one of the employees had logged
onto three systems. So when I got there, that login was screen locked
on those systems.
I THOUGHT there was something I could do with ^l to break the lock,
but typing ^l appeared to do nothing.
man xss turned up no documentation of a ^l command.
but did mention an xlock command.
man xlock complained of no such man page.
Where is ^L documented?
How is it supposed to work?
Any guess why it wasn't working for me on Linux Athena systems last week?
