Locking the screen when YubiKey is removed
------------------------------------------
You can setup your system to automatically lock the screen when you unplug
YubiKey. This will require creating simple qrexec service which will expose
ability to lock the screen to your USB VM, and then adding udev hook to
actually call that service.
1. First configure the qrexec service. Create `/etc/qubes-rpc/custom.LockScreen` (in dom0)
with simple command to lock the screen. In case of xscreensaver (used in Xfce)
it would be:
DISPLAY=:0 xscreensaver-command -lock
2. Allow your USB VM to call that service. Assuming that its named `sys-usb` it
would require creating `/etc/qubes-rpc/policy/custom.LockScreen` with:
sys-usb dom0 allow
3. Create udev hook in your USB VM. Store it in `/rw/config` to have it
persistent across VM restarts. For example name the file
`/rw/config/yubikey.rules`. Write there single line:
ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{ID_SECURITY_TOKEN}=="1", RUN+="/usr/bin/qrexec-client-vm dom0 custom.LockScreen"
4. Ensure that the udev hook is placed in the right place after VM restart. Append to `/rw/config/rc.local`:
ln -s /rw/config/yubikey.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
udevadm control --reload
Then make `/rw/config/rc.local` executable. For changes to take effect, you
need to call this script manually for the first time.
If you use KDE, the command(s) in first step would be different:
# In case of USB VM being autostarted, it will not have direct access to D-Bus
# session bus, so find its address manually:
kde_pid=`pidof kdeinit4`
export `cat /proc/$kde_pid/environ|grep -ao 'DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=[[:graph:]]*'`
qdbus org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver Lock
