DESCRIPTION
Invoke this helper program with the Ctrl-o key combination to save and
restore the user session on the screen.
OPTIONScons.saver takes only one argument, the TTY NAME from which the system
will save and restore.
SECURITY
Cons.saver does not need to be invoked by root. It only needs read and
write access to /dev/vcsa*, which is a priviledged operation. You
should create an unprivileged user, make cons.saver setuid to that
user, and assure that all the vcsa* are owned by that user too.
