Maintaining SIPB software: xscreensaver.

XScreenSaver

Back to manual.
Included here should be collected XScreenSaver lore, such as
  1. The Athena 20 minute rule, and how we finally decided to put in code to recognize it.
  2. Various other flaming about it in the past (logging in particular.)
  3. Why is the RS/6000 special? (/etc/security, gid 7, HFT)
  4. What is the ``xfree'' program, and why did we need it?
  5. Why doesn't xscreensaver use Kerberos?
