  Huge problem with this.  Unless you've "neutered" the 'cat, the string
it produces includes that serial number unique to the 'cat.  If my
keyboard goes TU, I pull another off the shelf and plug it in.  That
damned serial number makes the 'cat unable to produce the same hash value
with a different device.   So, make sure you don't do this with root, or
have a rescue floppy that will let you in without the password Just In
Case.
