As quoted from <36 at unigold.UUCP> by lance at unigold.UUCP (Lance Ellinghouse):
+---------------
| I am sick and tired of hearing everyone say SCO's C2
| is not worth anything... Here is an example of someplace
| it *DID* help...
| 
| One day I tried to call in from home and found the terminal
| line Disabled by the C2 security.. This seemed odd..
| 
| So I looked into it and then enabled it again.
+---------------

We had this capability on a RADIO SHACK MODEL 16 RUNNING XENIX 2.3,
fercryinoutloud!!!  (The original ncoast, if anyone cares.  The replacement
getty/login we ran only blocked user accounts that way, but I had the source
and could have implemented terminal locking if it had been necessary.)  It
does not justify making crontabs for maintenance accounts unmaintainable
without a reboot.
