     36 .Sh SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
     37 To make sure a locked screen can not be bypassed by switching VTs
     38 or killing the X server with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, it is recommended
     39 to disable both in
     40 .Xr xorg.conf 5
     41 for maximum security:
     42 .Bd -literal
     43 Section "ServerFlags"
     44 	Option "DontVTSwitch" "True"
     45 	Option "DontZap"      "True"
     46 EndSection
     47 .Ed
     48 .Sh CUSTOMIZATION
     49 .Nm
     50 can be customized by creating a custom config.h from config.def.h and
     51 (re)compiling the source code.
     52 This keeps it fast, secure and simple.
