I have got xnlock and xlock from export.lcs.mit.edu.  They are suppose
to allow you to lock your X console until you enter your current password.
I have NetBSD 0.8 with the security binaries installed.  Both programs
compiled fine except that it won't accept my password.  Just for fun I
tried to enter my password in its crypted form as well and that didn't
work either.  I'm sure it must be something with crypt.  Has anyone had
a similar problem or have an idea how to solve it.  I am using XFree 1.3.
