Hi Alexander,

 > misc/screensavers/slock: New nixpkg.

I tried to run slock (because it's really quite small!), but I get the
following error message:

 $ slock 
 slock: cannot retrieve password entry (make sure to suid slock)

Do you have an idea how to remedy that issue (preferably in a way that
doesn't require slock to run as root)?

Take care,
Peter
