Two-factor authentication (aka, USB authentication in Linux)

[n0tt00elite]

I would like to get/make a USB authentication program something like the one on: securikey.com, but theirs is only for Windoze (AFAIK). Does anybody have any suggestions as to how to go about this? Where to get a program to do it? How I would go about writing a program to do it myself?

I have no problem spending a lot of time doing it, as the semester'll be over in a couple weeks and I won't have anything to do for a month or two. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Looks like we're behind the ball a bit... check out http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-17571.html


Looks like that's what you have in mind (to some extent.)

I'll play with it and post my findings here.

There is an option for a "root plug" in the kernel config. I messed with it and didnt get it to work. I even looked through the c file :P
