not very secure I'd think.  Anybody could steal the card.  You could also use RFID devices like the Mobil Speedpass, but why would you?

Saw a great demo at interop using proximity cards - it recognized the user by his card and auto logged in when he approached and logged out when he walked away.  Was way cool

A TV program about NSA showed how when a person walks away from the PC, it automatically locks and when the person comes back, a camera scans the person to ID them as an authorized user.

if you lock the keyboard and mouse, how would you unlock the computer when you need it?  Can you just unplug them? I do not think that there are screensavers for Win environment similar to UNIX's xlock, where the scrennsaver is transparent.  From what I remember, the pseudo-transparent screensavers from MS (like science and 60s from a plus

pack) just capture the desktop image and display it without updating.

Does any one know of a screen saver that just locks out the keyboard and mouse, but will actively display the current window or desktop. I have a systems management computer that is in the open office and I would like to monitor it at the same time keep the workstation locked.
