   Does this exist in -STABLE?

Do you refer to the /usr/bin/lock?

How long do you leave it before giving up and hitting Ctrl-C? Give it a
while. You might find that it's having a problem with gethostname(). Is
your machine's hostname configured? What do you see when you do this on
the command-line:

cat /etc/resolv.conf
hostname

Ciao,
Sheldon.

   There are no network operations in gethostname(3):

int
gethostname(name, namelen)
        char *name;
        int namelen;
{
        int mib[2];
        size_t size;

        mib[0] = CTL_KERN;
        mib[1] = KERN_HOSTNAME;
        size = namelen;
        if (sysctl(mib, 2, name, &size, NULL, 0) == -1)
                return (-1);
        return (0);
}

That's a point. ;-)

I'd still like to know how long the originator waited. You think it's
having a problem getting tty parameters? I'd be interested in knowing
whether this was run from the console, an xterm or what.

Ciao,
Sheldon.

Timed out. It is suspected that the originator was not using FreeBSD's 
stock lock.
