This could be a huge exposure, or it could be the safest thing in the world, as these things go. I once worked for a company that had open access. They also had an egg-shaped device for each user, clock synchronized to software, that generated a pseudo-random number on demand. That was the password; if you missed the window, you had to wait a few minutes and try again. The logon was handled in a Network Solicitor, and other than requiring occasional recalibration, was reliable. Definitely safer than a static password. >> Yeah, we ran this way for a number of years when our Library(NOTIS) system was on MVS. Depending on VTAM application the Solicitor would pass to read only Library or tag you to the RSA VTAM sign-in. ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
