Subject: [plug] Can linux do this?
> I once a saw a TV show featuring networked computers from Sun which allows
users to identify/authenticate themselves using smart cards. It also allows
the users to log-in from any computer in the network. If the case was that
the user pulled out their cards from the reader while doing something (ie
in the middle of editing a document), the computer will shutdown. When the
user puts the card back in (or from any other computer) the system will
resume to whatever the user was doing during the last time they were logged
in (ie back to editing the same document)
I actually seen this before and yeah, it's great! I couldn't believe it
when I saw it but it was real! They used the Sun Ray appliances. = )
> Is this possible in Linux?
I don't know. Maybe, if the Linux box is Java enabled and has thin client
installed.
Anyway, you can ask Mr. Jeff Gutierrez because he knows more than I am.
