This sounds interesting, consider auto-locking of the session (via
xscreensaver and/or vlock) when the USB stick is removed (just a random
idea I've been carrying around with me for a while). I could imagine
that you could do that within the "Fedora project space", but I'm not
the one doing decisions. Anybody else?
Do you allow mutliple sticks? and multiple sessions? locking sessions
as sticks are removed and adding new sessions when a new stick is
inserted? If so how do you switch between sessions? How do you handle
device permissions in the case of multiple console sessions?
The switch between sessions problem is a problem we already have.
gdmflexiserver exists and is useful to do multiple sessions. It even
activates the screensaver lock when you swtich over to a new or
different session. So when you move back to the previous session you
have to provide a password. BUT.. we don't have a graphical mechanism
to switch back and forth between sessions and must use the ALT+CTL+F#
magic to navigate back and forth. Once you hit the locked session
screen.. there is no way to navigate out of that to another session
without using the 3 finger salute.
