Hi,
I was wondering if devices like USB keys work with thin clients, and if
so a quick description of how one gets them working? not a detailed
howto, just a point in the right direction.
Also, do CD-ROM drives work with thin clients?
Thanks
Mark Saward

Tim,
LTSP is inherently vulnerable to network sniffing. as long as
information travels in plain text over the network, it can be easily
intercepted. the usb keys are fine, but don't offer real security - they
can be duplicated with ease. Our only home is that Jim McQ. will have

We are currently investigating using USB keys as part of
user authentication to be used at their LTSP workstation.
Has anyone done this type of implementation?
Can anyone forsee any difficulties in having a USB key
at a remote-X workstation authenticating a user running
apps on the main server?
