I could ask Nalin, but public lists beat > hallway conversations. ;-) I see disconected authentication as the caching of just enough data to allow system authentication. all other authentication should be resolved when user becomes online again and can ask for new tickets. for instance at my old work i had 2 pcs and sometimes i would have one disconected from the network so i could use my laptop on its network port. and sometimes my password would expire before i could reconnect so i would use my old password but once i plugged back into the network i would have to reauthenticate so everything would work but i guess to do it what you would need to do is create the key based on the password and compare it to an old key which needs to be stored somewhere secure Dennis -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAoNfmkSxm47BaWfcRAmN/AJ9rwqe3qLlfHQGyEiP1q8mptM2KLACeO1SJ 6PimrR7OlhcnKzUW8WTO5SM= =w3oC -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
