lockout for Debian
------------------

This program is VERY DANGEROUS.  If it fails, you may end up not knowing the
root password to your own computer (in which case you need to boot into
single-user mode).  There are no known reports of this actually happening, but
we don't know how stupid you are.  Also, you should probably not run this on a
multi-user system.

Lockout is a tool that imposes discipline on you so that you get some work
done.  For example, lockout can be used to install a firewall that does not let
you browse the Web.  Lockout changes the root password for a specified
duration; this prevents you from secretly ripping down the firewall and then
browsing the Web anyway.  In case of an emergency, you can reboot your computer
to undo the effects of lockout and to restore the original root password.
