Someone over at the Ubuntu Forums has a step by step tutorial for BlueProximity with your iPhone. BlueProximity is a free Linux application turns a Bluetooth phone into a proximity-based security device for your computer.
Yes, that’s exactly how it sounds: Your laptop locks itself down when you step a certain distance away, and when you walk back within range, it unlocks itself.
