Bug Description
xlock doesn't offer the -cpasswd option -- even when recompiled from source.
Steps to reproduce:
Download source package and dependencies.
(I used xlockmore_
Configure and compile; I used:
./configure --enable-xlockrc --enable-blank-only
make
Resulting error message:
/xlock/
After searching online, I found the following fix:
XLOCKLIBS=
before compilation does the trick. This should surely happen
automatically when --enable-xlockrc is called explicitly during
compilation. But I regard it as a bug that the -cpasswd feature
documented in the man page doesn't work in the distributed package,
so perhaps this flag should be set by default.
