Ooh, someone to bug to get my smartcard to work good in Gentoo. |

I have this fancy smartcard based identity card whose digital signature |
| 19 |
is equal to written signature by Estonian law, but firefox not playing |

along with the signing bit, only auth... logging on through gdm with it |
| 21 |
would be cool too - ssh-agent with it too. |

I hope you haven't lost any sanity over it swearing to not touch it ever |
| 23 |
