Hmmm - I see how this would be an issue on a workstation. I hadn't thought of that since I exclusively use Sun Rays where it's not a problem (unless you leave your badge plugged into your Sun Ray while you are gone - which is viewed with even more extreme skepticism :). There's no way to reconnect to your session from any Sun Ray without either inserting your smartcard/badge (if it's a smartcard-based session) or by authenticating to the non-smartcard mobility greeter (unless you configure SRSS to make sessions non-mobile - something we don't do within Sun). -Bob _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
