perhaps i could use that as a screensaver password to share with my girlfriend? it would close spreadsheets, emacs, un-mount journals and personal drives. PAM's used to reauth from the screen-saver, right?
- mgbmtl 5y agoMight be easier to create a separate login? Some partners expect to share passwords as a trust thing, but my work does not allow it (and most personal devices have access to work stuff).
- wowaname 5y agoI don't understand why partners willingly share passwords.
- michael-ax 5y agowhy do passwords cover accounts not scopes? if passwords also covered account scopes -- which is what this tool enables one to monkey-patch into the OS, i could give you my password so you could gorge on my code without me having to worry about you reading my journals or abusing ~/.ssh other than that, i second your notion. I'm thrilled by the idea of using passwords to switch between the sorts of things i do without having to log-out.
- michael-ax 5y agoYes, those _are good, i have an Alt-F9 alternate desktop for guests, but a 2 letter password for her to bypass the screen-lock and change the music or something would in fact remove my sometimes duress, i think..
- wowaname 5y agoDepends on your locking program but yes, PAM can be used for that.
- michael-ax 5y agoThank you, I think I'll rig that up.
