> Would the muscle framework be able to do the following.
Muscle is a framework to access to the features of smart card. At low level it uses 
PC/SC Lite that manages the smart cards readers and offers the SCard API to 
communicate with the smart 
cards. Around this framework there are applications that allow differents things.
A presentation of MUSCLE is available on [1].

To do this there is a PAM module available in [2].

Actually there are no application based on MUSCLE that do this.
But you can implement this features in an application or perhaps on the PAM rules. I 
don't know in the details how PAM works.
Else you have the solution SmartSession [3] but it is not based on MUSCLE.

PC/SC Lite supports the hotplug of USB readers and it detects when a card is inserted 
or teared in one of the readers.
