smart card is really different, but the idea is the same - implemented in the dongles, only it applies to a local computer ... when you don't want to enter passwds all the time etc. The suggestion to use the UID of the disk (or partition) as authentication is enough for you I guess. Also I would put it in the initrd. If the user had a keyboard s/he could hack it, so that's why I've asked why do you need this? Perhaps it's really better to use usb smart card for authentication or the dongles mentioned before regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
