openssh unix dev - Jan 2011 - Asking PIN on usb dongle insert

Dear Friends,

This questions is about smartcard/usb token support in OpenSSH.

pcsc-lite now supports udev rules.

It should be possible to trigger ssh-add -s /usr/lib/openssh-pkcs11.so
when inserting a USB token.
At the same time there should be a way to trigger ssh-add
-e /usr/lib/openssh-pkcs11.so on USB token removal.

Did some of you test this scenario?

Kind regards,

As you may know, ssh-add communicates with ssh-agent, which as you
may also know is not available from udev. But you could probably
hack something up with dbus.
