Hello,

I hope you can help me with a technical question or direct me to someone who
can.
(I found your email this article http://web.mit.edu/linux/www/)

I have two private (non athena) computers in my lab (running Fedora Core 4) that
I have to share with a few other grad students.  They regularly forget to log
out and leave the screen locked.

How can I add the logout function to the lock screen.  I would like the option
to log them off like on athena machines.  I only want to add this function.  Is
this a standard feature of linux, or is it unique to Athena?

Thank you.

Amilio
