                     20: \fILock\fP requests a password from the user, reads it again for verification
                     21: and then it will normally not relinquish the terminal until the password is
                     22: repeated.  There are three other conditions under which it will terminate: it
                     23: accepts the password for root as an alternative to the one given by the
                     24: user, it will timeout after some interval of time, and it may be killed by
                     25: somebody with the appropriate permission. The default time limit is 15 minutes
                     26: but it may be changed with the \fI-number\fP option where \fInumber\fP is the
                     27: time limit in minutes.  The \fI-p\fP option has \fIlock\fP use the user's
                     28: standard password instead of requesting another one.
