I'm using arch linux, but that shouldn't matter. I'm using the
vlock-2.2.3-1 package. the one you have found is very old. It seems the old
vlock website is down, but you can find the git repo here:
http://repo.or.cz/w/vlock.git. It seems the fedora project used the legacy
vlock. This is not the case for other ditributions such as arch linus,
gentoo and ubuntu which all use the newer vlock2. For example here is a
manpage for vlock from ubuntu which has the -n option:
