Is there someway of prompting for the password when a user logs in? Or of allowing a user to mount/unmount an encrypted partition? You can have it in your .bashrc (/home/user/.bashrc) script which is executed after login - but then you need to login to a bash shell if I recall correctly.
What do others do to secure their data on a laptop?
- I have a BIOS system password enabled - I have an IBM R52 laptop which allows me to password protect the hard disk (in the BIOS). This option is enabled. - Passwords on all accounts. - Encrypted partition mounted to /home/albert/data which does not automount at bootup All passwords are at least 8 characters and the BIOS password != hard disk password != user password != encrypted partition password. The passwords contain lowercase, uppercase and numeral characters. But then again, I'm the only one using the laptop and I keep it locked away when not used.
