You can use xscreensaver to do this and init it with whatever commands in the xinit

here's a link to the docs on it.

Terminal locking





I need to find a way to lock a users terminal after a set period of
inactivity. It has to work regardless of how the user connects the
system. I know of the TMOUT variable, but I need it ask the user for
there password again to reconnect to the same session instead of just
closing the session. Any ideas on how to do this?
