I stand corrected. Forgot about this possible avenue. But this will still require the person already has access to the system. I think for most users with just a personal desktop, this is less likely. It does bring another possible access, most servers have iKVM/IPMI systems installed for remote management. Those also allow USB devices to be connected over network. I would, however, class access to these parts of the system as "physical" access. -- Joost
