USB keyx with FC2....

[ysdg at free.fr]

Hi Andro,
Yes I tried and here is what I obtained with the usbkey plugged :

Disque /dev/hda: 81.9 Go, 81964302336 octets
255 têtes, 63 secteurs/piste, 9964 cylindres
Unités = cylindres de 16065 * 512 = 8225280 octets

Périphérique Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *           1          13      104391   83  Linux
/dev/hda2              14        9710    77891152+  83  Linux
/dev/hda3            9711        9964     2040255   82  Linux swap

As you can notice (or can not!) there is no trace of the usb key...
As this not the only machine with FC2 I'm using, I'd like not to recompile the
kernel (will have to repeat the recompilation on each pc at each security
upgrade...)

thx
