I noticed that UNC CH has been pushing what they call two factor, but I've never really gotten how it works in practice. To me, two factor means you HAVE something like a USB key in addition to KNOW something like your Onyen and Password. I've never liked how Ruth just a UID and password you can sign on to just about any hosts as long as your authenticated in that domain / ou.
