Biometric/Token Authentication and Seamless Integration? 9
NeuralAbyss asks: "With all the recent discussions on biometric, password and token authentication, I thought I'd ask one simple question that no websites seem to be able to answer: What devices integrate transparently with pre-built infrastructure (Linux, *BSD, Novell, Windows NT/2K)? Any advice from Slashdot readers out there would be quite helpful, as I am looking into biometric/token authentication for a network that I administer, currently a Win2000/Novell hybrid."

just actually force your users to change them and use decent hashing on all your files
wake up the only people who can do biometric are guv's beacsue its so damn expensive TO GET RIGHT most are cheap fail within 6mths or simply by blowing on it you can fool them

However, it -is- true that most systems are too expensive for a private company to afford at this time. Most Biometrics projects are Government facilities or airports. Wait a few years for the prices to go down before attempting this type of system.
