(To butt in) I would probably change to vtty1 or another unused (and not logged in vtty), because none of my friends understand how to use MS-DOS ;-)

Maybe even use one of the console based matrix screensaver like programs in ports, and a dummy user with it as there login shell lol. Against smart people, you're basically screwed, because eventually someone will figure out a way in.


I would think though, for most practical reasons: kill escape from X (control+alt+backspace, changing vtty's, exit/logout/etc buttons in WM) as best you can, and locking your display/console should keep most people at bay for awhile (even if they try the obvious escapes, it buys you time to get back before they think of a useful way around).

Just my 2 cents U.S.
