CAC in a Personal (i.e., potentially not managed by someone who meets DISA
requirements for a system administrator, and on a network that follows DISA
guidelines to mitigate risk) machine mostly defeats the purpose of it.

Thanks for the replies to my question...
I realized after I sent that message that I might get pointed towards
the Fedora bugzilla. I am tied to Fedora only by the fact that it is
the distro that I'm using on all my machines. I am much more interested
in the operability of this hardware with pcsc-lite/openct/whatever will
work in a linux environment (specifically on platform x86_64). I was
hoping to find someone who had success with this type of setup who could
guide me. Also, to be clear, this is not for a DoD machine, but a
personal laptop.
These packages I'm using from the Fedora extras repo:
openct (actually I compiled this from source, the extras version doesn't
work with my hardware)
opensc
pcsc-lite-openct
I've also got ccid, coolkey, and anything else installed that I could
think of.
My next course of action was going to be to build all of the
aforementioned packages from source. That doesn't scare me a bit, but
is less than convenient.
Also, to be clear, the Omnikey Cardman 4000 is a pcmcia device, so (as I
understand it) will not be usable with ccid. It is supported by an ifd
handler driver in openct (cm4000). I think a bugfix patch didn't make
it into the current FC6 package. Also I should mention that there is a
kernel module that loaded automagically when I plugged in the device and
rebooted (udev handles this, I think).
The combination of the openct driver for pcsc, the cm4000 openct driver,
and coolkey should work with firefox to make all of those DoD websites
accessible via my CAC if I'm not mistaken. Hopefully I've clarified
enough for someone to give me some help, which is very much appreciated.
Thank you,
Keith
