I ask the question about the advantages of S/key ( no, I'm not sure how it 
works ) vs password and userid security yesterday and received no response. 
 I have a paper due to upper management in about 45 min. and I need to put 
something in the document.  Could someone please help?  What are the 
advantages, and how does s/key work?  I only have access to email, so I 
can't go out and look anywhere.

Thanks.
