> Fedora has been shipping latest released opensc for quite some time. "Quite some time" being since when - 3-4 months ago? because when I started having these problems both openct and opensc packages on Fedora were terribly outdated!

I used both OpenCT and OpenSC versions as *released* on the opensc project web site (the version offered with fedora were much older than what I found on that web site at the time) and, as I already pointed out, with the help of others I managed to get it working.

I did not mean just initrd, but also gdm/console login - both opensc/openct packages at the time offered by Fedora (not to mention the smartcard plugin and gdm) were out of date and not functioning properly as far as my smartcard was concerned. I do not wish to repeat what I already stated in previous posts and go over old ground. _______________________________________________ opensc-devel mailing list opensc-devel@lists.opensc-project.org http://www.opensc-project.org/mailman/listinfo/opensc-devel
