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
enough free time to implement fully ssh encrypted workstation - server
traffic from the moment when login process receives user name. julius
