Does anyone know of a security card system for extra protection of Novell
file servers. I am thinking of a system which comprises a card with LCD
display and a (8 or 12) digit number which changes every 30 secs or so.
The algorithm would also run on the file server. The idea is that when you
login, you type your user password, but then you must type the current number
displayed on the card. If all is ok you get logged in. So someone must steal
the card AND know of your user password to hack the account. Whats more, as
number on the card changes every 30 secs or every minute, its an
auto password change without you having to remember it.

I have seen such systems for CRAY supercomputers (secure card), but I was
wondering if anyone knows of a similar system running on Novell ????

If there are sufficient (any?) replies I will summarise.
