Mario,

You have really done a good job with this. Without your HOWTO I am sure I
would never have been able to get started with this. I have 90% of it
working, I am just at the stage where I need to convert the pam files.

Could I ask (I have not used smartcards before):

1. The password that you enter at login (using pam_smartcard etc)  is the
PIN for the Cyberflex card?  or the password migrated from the passwd
database?

2. What to you need the transport key for? Do you need this everytime you
change something on the card (ie, netaccountadd)

3. How would you unblock the card after failed logins.

4. Does the card really become useless after 3 failed logins.

5. Can you store multiple logins (for different users or the same user on
different LDAP servers) on the same card?

6. Is there a way of interrogating the card to find out what apps are
there?

thanks

Richard
