This is a patch to the keyboard and sysrq code in the Linux's kernel + a driver to lock the keyboard on a x86 machine.

NEWS
Sat 09/08/2001 14:00 GMT+2 - Version 1.4 released - /dev/kbdlock has been renamed to /dev/misc/kbdlock, using the miscfs; it's possible again to compile kbdlock without devfs support; the password is readable/writable from/to /proc/sys/kernel/kbdlock.
Mon 01/08/2001 17:00 GMT+2 - Version 1.3 released - Now the password is taken as the argument to the ioctl command KBDLOCK_SET_PWD, whithout the use of socket stuff. FIXED a compilation bug.
