FSFE cryptocard

I received my admin pin earlier this week and have now got my FSFE cryptocard working. I’ve generated a key that I can use for signing files (or encryption). I’ve still got a lot to learn about smart cards—from browsing on the web I’ve read that its possible to use a smartcard with ssh, or for unix logins (via a PAM module). Those are both things I’d like to get working. Maybe one day I won’t need a password to login to this site if I have my card ;-)
