openssh unix dev - Sep 2004 - contribution - pkcs11 smart card support

Hello,

I have just finished development of PKCS#11 smartcard support into OpenSSH.

It is based on existing approach implemented in sectok and OpenSC support. 
It means it supports private key stored on PKCS#11 device. 

I have developed it on Linux platform and tested on Windows using Cygwin and
after some minor code cealn-up I'm ready to post a patch.

Are you (especially maintaners) interested in such patch? It would be nice if
it become standard part of OpenSSH codebase.

Regards

Ludek Rasek

Please send the patch to the list, I'm interested. What underlying
smartcard library are you using?
