I'm interested in getting one or more of these things to play with, with the goal of: o Authenticating myself to my home workstations (pam module?). o Storing PGP & ssh keys. Since I assume these are tasks of interest to more people than just myself, I was wondering: o Does anyone have existing code bases to support these tasks? o Is there any support (in the political sense) for getting the pam module and/or other code incorporated into the base system or as a port? o Does anyone have any recommendations on what hardware to procure for these tasks? I was looking at getting a serial port BlueDot (possibly two or three, I have some laptops I may want to use this with too) and a DS1996L-F5 64-kbit Memory iButton. I would also think about getting a Java-powered iButton, Model 96, Release 1.1 (or 2.2) if I understood exactly what I'd be getting for the money. Does anyone have any information/examples on how these Java iButtons are used?
