Disabling auto-lock on HP-UX systems

[nappaji]

When the screen is left unused for a certain period of time, the screen locks up and can be unlocked only by the person logged in.

Does any one know how to disable this feature???

Thanks

Hi
Yes you can do that. This will remove the screensever icon so no one will able to lock the screen.

1. cp /usr/dt/app-defaults/C/Dtstyle /etc/dt/app-defaults/C

2. Edit /etc/dt/app-defaults/C/Dtstyle and remove the word
"screen" as shown below:

Change this line:

Dtstyle*componentList: Color Font Backdrop Keyboard Mouse Beep
Screen Dtwm Startup

To:

Dtstyle*componentList: Color Font Backdrop Keyboard Mouse Beep
Dtwm Startup

Note: This change will remove the Screensaver option from the
Style manager.

3. Edit /etc/dt/config/C/sys.resources and add the following two
lines:

dtsession*extension.saverTimeout: 0
dtsession*extension.lockTimeout: 0

Note: These two settings will disable the screen saver and
screen lock, respectively.

4. To make these changes take effect for all users, remove their
$HOME/.dt directories
