10.3: See some of the hidden Access Card features
Authored by: sboger on Nov 14, '03 07:40:52AM

to answer a few other comments.

first, im a hardcore unix user, so i have a different perspective on all this. It looks like panther does use PAM to authenticate. that means we should be able to plug in modules.

i have downloaded the nifty linux pam_usb module that allows a user to login simply by inserting a usb drive... i have passed several compile hurdles, but am still stuck on a few others.

if this compiles, i see no reason why we couldn't use this on panther for true usb authentication.

if anyone has solid C coding experience and wants to help port this, please email me. Specifically, I am seeing errors in the mount() function.

Thank you,

So much water has passed under the bridge since this article was written. Has anyone had any success with USB key login authentication? I still like the idea, but don't fancy shelling ouy $130 for a securikey!
