No, I haven't. I was hoping for something useful in the logs that might
help me on other things.

Um, say *wha*? My manager told me to load both. I've got pcsc-lite,
pcsc-lite-libs, and openct. I can read the card, but when I stick it into
a reader, it brings up two windows, one after the other: the first wants
the phone home URL, and I tell it close, and then the one to "manage smart
cards". It should not phone home.

Nope.

Hmmm... it does show problems: card not transacted: 612.

Thanks. My manager did get it working on his machine (FC, now 14). I may
have to rebuild sshd with smartcard support, *if* I can find the source.

It leads to questions I didn't know to ask. Thanks!
