Description Vladimir Rytikov 2009-11-09 14:28:19 UTC 
program vlock is broken. perhaps this is due to the newer kernel(in my case2.6.30-gentoo-r5) . Now when the console is locked, you can press Ctrl-Fx and switch to another console.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. login to tty1 & tty2
2. switch to tty1 & run vlock
3. press, Ctrl-F2 and you will get to tty2.

Actual Results:  
you will get to tty2

Expected Results:  
you do not get to tty2. console must be locked until the password.

Thank you for report. You need to run "vlock -a" to disable console switching. See vlock man page for more information.
