OK, if I understand you right, I shall tell more about my project. My
first question was wether fredora would mentor a project not directly
connected to the fredora distribution. But more about my proposal:
The idea is an udev based authentication using an usb-stick. This means
following: I put the stick into the pc, then, if a loginmanger is
started, it will automaticly open a graphical session. If not, a shell
based session will start. I think I could add interesting expands to
that, such as automaticly open encrypted devices... I'd realize this
(means: writing patches for common dm, write the udev rule and so on)
and write config tools. If you want, I sent you a complete spec of what
I'd be going to do.
