Security-audit follow-up. The release profile had silently drifted from the hardened profile (v0.6.12): v0.6.14 bundled lto fat->thin, strip true->false, and debug=true into an unrelated refactor — a debug aid for the suspend/resume SIGSEGV hunt. That crash is fixed (v0.6.17), so restore lto=fat + strip=true and drop the debug symbols, which on a security-critical auth binary only ease reverse-engineering of the auth path and bloat the binary. Also remove two vestigial struct fields the audit surfaced: never read, no behavior change. - LockscreenHandles.password_entry: the entry is fully wired via internal closures before the handles return; no caller read the field. - User.uid: superseded by getuid() (root check) and username lookups.
Moonlock
A secure Wayland lockscreen with GTK4, PAM authentication and fingerprint support. Part of the Moonarch ecosystem.
Features
- ext-session-lock-v1 — Protocol-guaranteed screen locking (compositor keeps screen locked on crash,
exit(1)in release if unsupported) - PAM authentication — Uses system PAM stack (
/etc/pam.d/moonlock) with 30s timeout and generation counter - Fingerprint unlock — fprintd D-Bus integration with sender validation, async init (window appears instantly),
pam_acct_mgmtcheck after verify, auto-resume on transient errors - Multi-monitor + hotplug — Lockscreen on every monitor with shared blur and avatar caches; monitors added after suspend/resume get windows automatically via
connect_monitorsignal - GPU blur — Background blur via GskBlurNode (downscale to max 1920px, configurable 0–200)
- i18n — German and English (auto-detected)
- Faillock warning — Progressive UI warning after failed attempts, PAM decides lockout
- Panic safety — Panic hook logs but never unlocks (installed before logging)
- Password wiping —
Zeroizeon drop from GTK entry through PAM FFI layer - Journal logging —
journalctl -t moonlock, debug level viaMOONLOCK_DEBUGenv var
Requirements
- GTK 4
- gtk4-session-lock (ext-session-lock-v1 support)
- PAM (
/etc/pam.d/moonlock) - Optional: fprintd for fingerprint support
Building
cargo build --release
Installation
# Install binary
sudo install -Dm755 target/release/moonlock /usr/bin/moonlock
# Install PAM config
sudo install -Dm644 config/moonlock-pam /etc/pam.d/moonlock
# Optional: Install example config
sudo install -Dm644 config/moonlock.toml.example /etc/moonlock/moonlock.toml.example
Configuration
Create /etc/moonlock/moonlock.toml or ~/.config/moonlock/moonlock.toml:
background_path = "/usr/share/wallpapers/moon.jpg"
background_blur = 40.0 # 0.0–200.0, optional
fingerprint_enabled = true
Usage
Typically launched via keybind in your Wayland compositor:
# Niri keybind example
binds {
Mod+L { spawn "moonlock"; }
}
