1. If fgets fails, don't go into an infinite cpu-intensive loop. Instead,
check to see if the terminal still exists, and sleep(1) otherwise.
2. When we check to see if the terminal still exists, make sure we're not
mislead by EINTR. This could have been a security issue, but fortunately
the current implementation of tcgetattr doesn't EINTR.

don't use spaces at the beginning of a line where tabs are normally
used (the worst thing was that half of this file was right (tabs) and
half was wrong (spaces), making for painful reading).

/usr/bin/lock can be used to lock a terminal much like xlock does
for your X-windows session. Problem is, /usr/bin/lock cannot lock
your terminal indefinately. Rather you must specify a timeout
value, after which, your terminal is unlocked and become unsecured.
I have added a ``-n'' no timeout option to /usr/bin/lock
Currently the only way to get this functionality is to use a huge
timeout value and hope it is long enought (in time). This method
also requires you to know the maxium number of minutes you are
allowed to specify.
