Description Andreas Jellinghaus 2004-03-03 05:06:35 UTC

If opensc is installed, openssh should use it.
Also use the patch found here:
http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=608
to make ssh ask for the pin (use the refined version)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.grep opensc /usr/portage/net-misc/openssh/*ebuild

Actual Results:  
not found - not used for compiling. 

Expected Results:  
compile with opensc if it is installed 

the patch is not merged by openssh and will not for the while being. 
markus wants a cleaner solution for the problem, but that will require 
design changes in openssh, so it is not going to happen soon. the patch 
isn't exactly dirty and has not side effects, but still not the clean 
solution markus wants.
