+Gone is a utility that locks a terminal with a password
+chosen by the user. Gone will prompt the user for a pass-
+word (unless the -p option is given, then gone will use the system
+password), then print the gone banner, then drop into the gone
+shell. From this shell, only a restricted set of commands
+can be run. Gone will also disallow messages by removing
+permissions on the parent tty. After the timeout period
+(10 minutes by default), gone will automatically log the
+user out.
