Hi,
First of all, I know the following probably isn't recommended or secure, but I think that if someone can take advantage of this, then they would be able to get around my password anyway...

I take my MacBook to work everyday and often have to leave it unattended for small periods of time. There are a lot of ignorant people who think it is great to fiddle with people's computers and alter their settings when they are not looking. For this reason, I have the 'password authentication upon waking from sleep' turned on. However, this gets very annoying when I am at home, away from these people, and I still have to enter my password several times a night.

Is there a way (a script or mod or anything) that can allow me to skip this password authentication when i wake my computer, so long as the computer is able to detect my wifi network at home? This way I wont have to enter the password when at home, but whenever I am out, it will still require the authentication. Or do Apple make this stuff very hard to access?

Cheers
