Subject: Insecurity in Lockout (Any Version)
You can't just do cmd-option escape to force quit LockOut, its too
clever. BUT you can use MacsBug, if its installed. (Available from
Apple). Hit return to press the "Resume" button when lockout is active,
and straight away press cmd-power key. (You need to do this very
quickly, else it doesn't work.) The current app will only now show up as
lockout, allowing you to type 'es' and press return to force quit it. I
haven't managed to press return then cmd-option-esc quick enough, hence
the need for MacsBug. And Lockout won't have any record of the break
out, as it saves its log files only when quit normally.
