Cool... and another idea
I'm totally with you on the paranoia thing. As much as I keep my passwords secure and try to use good passwords, holes always seems to happen eventually.
So, I like the idea, but personally I'd expand the verification beyond just a volume name. It would be cool to do a quick public key verification using a keychain on the USB drive. Furthermore, beyond what I think we can throw together with scripts... I think it would be awesome to add the same verification as an optional add-on to any password prompt in OSX. I'm thinking of being able to set my system password, and then check an option that links my private key to it (on my USB drive). Then every time I need to enter my password, I would need to also plug in my USB drive. I have no idea how to implement that or how to keep it compatible with Unix... but just a thought
Cool... and another idea
Maybe put your keychain file on the thumbdrive create a link at the expected location (~/Library/Keychains). Then if the drive isn't mounted the keychain isn't accessible so no passwords are available.

I cant get this script to work, am I doing something wrong somewhere along the line?
Cool... and another idea
Well the script works fine, but I've added it to my start-up items as I can't get it to be recognsed as a loginhook |
