Okay, I didn't think of that scenario -- probably because it horrifies me from security reasons. I would never leave a machine unattended that I was logged in to, unless it was in a secure room under my control, and then there'd be no need for this kind of trick. But, for people who either don't need to worry about the security implications or who don't care about them, this sounds like an interesting solution. > PS.
