 .SH DESCRIPTION
-.I Lock
-requests a password from the user, then prints "LOCKED" on
-the terminal and refuses to relinquish the terminal until
-the password is repeated.  If the user forgets the password,
-he has no other recourse but to login elsewhere and kill
-the lock process.

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