Secure at home - dahoam

Category: Ubuntu

Tired of typing in your super long and super secure laptop password every time your screensaver activates at home? There is a solution: dahoam. Dahoam is the Bavarian word for being at home.

Dahoam is also a Python based PAM extension which authenticates users if there is an active connection to a known WIFI network. This can be used by e.g. gnome-screensaver.

The (mini) project is hosted at Launchpad and can be downloaded here.

Installation instructions are provided in the README file.

[UPDATE] Link to the 1.1 release which fixes a serious typo that broke the script.
