    We are using Sun workstations in a classroom environment to access a Sun
    server (using XDCMP.) The server is running Solaris 8, and we have all
    the students log in to a CDE environment.

    The problem is that some students log in but do not log off before they
    get up and leave the classroom. After a short while, the screensaver
    comes up, and requires that student's password to be able to get in, so
    no one can use that workstation until an administrator is contacted to
    kill that student's processes. Some instructors have root access, most
    do not.

    Is there a way to globally disable the CDE screensaver? We would prefer
    that it never come up. Deleting or renaming a binary would be fine, if
    I only knew which binary to eliminate.

    Thanks
