If we find a technical possibility to implement the idea of prompting for a password on the first screen lock of a session, it might be interesting to package it and to make it available for other distros.

Done, only Grml, Knoppix, and Kali answered after several weeks and two pings:

  • Grml: already have a custom script,
  • Kali: low interest in our solution as Kali is not mainly used in live environment.
  • Knoppix: might be interested in our solution.
