Subject:   Xlock equivalent for terminal ?

It seems silly, but someone where just asked about an Xlock equivalent
program for the console.  He would like something which he can call after
throwing startx into the background to lock the virtual console.

He would like this for both his freebsd boxes and linux boxes since they
both share his environ over NFS.  It is more important for the linux end
though because Redhat chowns several things to the user on the console at
login and chowns them back if he logs out of the console (such as the
sounds devices and floppy dev).

Any ideas ?

Thanks
