The easiest approach is the usb-memory-stick ;) (f.i. a second small partition with the key on it) But there are some card-readers that are supported under linux. I have done some investigation for HBCI-banking: - towitoko-card-reader - Reiner SCT (the USB Class 3 card-reader, can't remember the name, but reiner sct provides driver for it) <== my favourite, but can't afford it currently. There may be more supported and i can search a but in old c't-magazins (or was it Linux Magazin ?) since there was an article about card-readers under linux, which are supported and how to enable them and how to write a programm to use it. In the club is also a discussion about GnuCash and OpenHBCI that may be a bit related (homebanking). I guess we would need an cardreader-enabled gdm or kdm for it, but i can't present fact currently ;) -- Regards Steffen ____________________ counter.li.org : #296567. machine: 181800 vdr-box : 87 ____________________ Please dont CC me, since if I have replied I'll watch the tread.
