Feature changed by: David Hodgson (jetojedno) Feature #312871, revision 2 Title: Auto-lock with password when screen saver kicks in. openSUSE 12.1: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Per Jessen (pjessen) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: * Enable automatic screen-lock with password required. E.g. after 5mins and 10seconds respectively. * add a default "lock" button to the GUI taskbar Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: To increase security. We have many and varied security- related features and policies. Requiring a password when the screen auto-locks is just common sense. An easily accessible lock button makes it more likely that a user will use it when he leaves his desk. These both ought to be the default setup. + Discussion: + #1: David Hodgson (jetojedno) (2011-10-09 21:27:57) + Just to be clear, the proposal is just for a default on install? + Or is the proposal that somewhere within the system, the screensaver + with auto-lock can be made mandatory? + #2: David Hodgson (jetojedno) (2011-10-09 21:30:15) + I would add a variant: that the screensaver (with auto-lock) is invoked + on bootup auto-login, so someone starting the computer needs to put in + the password, but that all the usual start-up stuff can happen in the + background while doing that. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312871
