Smart Card questions
 

I was wondering if there is anyway to let people log on to a computer with a smart card without having to authenticate with a server? Is there a way to just associate a smart card with a user name so someone can log into a linux and use the smart card instead of a password?

edit - I am using F11 with pscs-lite on a laptop with a SCM smart card reader

Short answer is "yes".
