esc can let you look at your card in ways that are similar to what firefox->edit->prefrences->advanced->encryption can, except it is more limited, not as reliable (for instance right now FF is seeing my card details, but esc is not), and is more annoying (i.e. pops up in your way *every* time the card insertion is detected).
My standard thing to do with esc is `yum remove esc`. every time I see it get installed on machines I use, I hope that it has finally got something I want, but in the RHEL 5.X series it has not.

I must be missing something - for smart cards, you need pcscd, and probably openct, opensc, ccid.... mark "why would you think I need to know this...?" _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
