Lift his fingerprint from one of the keys on his keyboard, etch it onto a PCB and use that as a matrix for a gelatin fake fingerprint. Or, for some sensors, just print an image of the fingerprint, lick the paper and press it to the sensor. Fingerprint readers suck. Anyway, deploying fancy biometrics stuff is normally only possible if you have control over the users' client hardware. This is often not the case in an academic setting, where you have lots of users working in loose collaborations between sites and departments. -- Leif Nixon - Systems expert ------------------------------------------------------------ National Supercomputer Centre - Linkoping University ------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
