Hello,

I will be releasing a Secure PAM login library by early next week that
supports the Schlumberger Cyberflex Access Card and RSA cryptography.  Unix
password files will be removed and you will instead have a /etc/smartpasswd
with
UID's and their cooresponding RSA public keys.  The host will generate a
128 byte random string which it will encrypt with the public key contained
in the file and then the card will sign it and pass back the original
result for authentication.  I have tested it with the Todos and
Schlumberger Reflex 62 readers though some particular masks of the Access
card seem to timeout.

The passwd command will also use PAM to change the public/private keys so
administration should be really easy.

I'll include more information as I get it.

Best Regards,
Dave
