The general consensus (also my personal opinion) seemed to be that it is safer not to probe the card, as there are several cards that don't support the convention and some even decrease the retry counter (like the buggy new ID-card in Estonia...) Even though many cards override pin_cmd, extra care should be taken to not accidentally block a PIN code, thus the feature (like a flag) should be set case-by-case. _______________________________________________ opensc-devel mailing list opensc-devel@lists.opensc-project.org http://www.opensc-project.org/mailman/listinfo/opensc-devel
