Hello,

I have a Kobil card reader with pinpad. In principle the pinpad works with 
opensc, but the behaviour generally is a bit confusing.

If you use it with pam (for instance su, kdm or gdm) the user is asked to 
type the PIN at the keyboard, this input is ignored and as soon as you 
type 'enter' the pinpad beeps and is ready for entering the PIN.
It would be nicer to have no keyboard interaction at all. Just the pinpad is 
enough, so that the users are not tempted to type the PIN on the keyboard.

Firefox 2 acts similar. If you use the Kobil pksc11 modules instead of 
opensc, the behaviour is as you wish (both on Linux and Windows).

Firefox 3 starts in a promising way: As soon as you move to a web page
requiring a user certificate, the pinpad beeps and you can enter the PIN.
Unfortunately Firefox 3 crashes after the PIN is entered  (both on Windows 
and Linux).
Firefox 3 works if the pinpad is disabled.

Who is to blame for this? The applications like pam or firefox?
Or opensc?
