Hmm, that's a client rather than a server, isn't it?

I'll be accessing it from a PC, so won't be able to use that - but it
does imply that a Secret Signal from the client will set the built-in
server to put a lock on screen. I'll have a play later - I wonder what
that signal is, and whether I can send it from a Windows client?
