Hello,
I need smard card access (DOD CAC) from my SL 5.5 system. I have a Dell
USB smart card keyboard, but when I insert my card it isn't detected. I
assume this means I need to install smart card support, and I have seen
documentation that is is available. If so, what is the package name and
repository where I can get it?

A while back, when this still mattered to me, I wrote a guide on how to
get CACs working with the Dogtag system on Fedora 13:

I haven't messed with it much since and my part of development on these
projects halted with my lack of access to a CAC, of course, but the
basics should work. Some of the items in the howto are of questionable
legality depending on where you are but are steps necessary to use a few
of the more poorly designed CAC enabled sites (the DTS, DTS helpdesk,
"network security" government online class trash, etc.), so be warned.
I don't think Dogtag is available as "dogtag-foo" or @dogtag on SL or
TUV. So you'll need to install pki-* and anything missing from CA, OCSP
and TKS (I think that's right... been a while). There is probably a
package collection for this in the repo that I just don't know the name
of -- its a lot like "389-DS/Fedora Directory Server" vs TUV-named
version of the same package.
I can dust this off and give you better guidance if this isn't enough.
Some of the quirks to CAC on Linux were lots of fun to discover... :-/
