Re: Predator (USB key security)

"""
This software helps you add a little more security to your desktop. It
does so by detecting one of your bluetooth devices, most likely your
mobile phone, and keeping track of its distance. If you move away from
your computer and the distance is above a certain level (no
measurement in meters is possible) for a given time, it automatically
locks your desktop (or starts any other shell command you want).

Once away your computer awaits its master back - if you are nearer
than a given level for a set time your computer unlocks magically
without any interaction (or starts any other shell command you want).

I have used this, worked great.  It has a nice side effect: you
realise you have lost your phone way sooner, and that gives you a jump
on finding it.
