What exactly happens when the screen on a server gets locked(CTL+ALT+DEL), I am experiencing a problem with this. When the machine is unlocked the application works fine, but as soon as the screen is locked it doesn't work. Any suggestions or comments ?

When you lock the screen, all you're doing is locking the console from further input. Programs (should) continue to run normally in the background. What are you having a problem with? Some specifics would help find an answer more quickly. I can leave our servers on console lock all the time, and it doesn't appear to affect performance much.

Some screen savers will affect running programs. The screen saver can still kick in even though the console is locked. Maybe try disabling your screen saver.
