I guess the issue is that I don't have a key at all on the new machine. I thought I could run some magic command that'd load the stubs for my smartcard keys into my secret keyring. If I manually export the stub keys from my 'good' machine, and import them onto the new machine, things work. But that seems clunky. Now I need to carry around my smart-card, and a USB stick with the key stubs, to configure a new machine. If that's what I have to do, I guess that's what I have to do. But I thought there'd be an easier way to get things workingĂ, using nothing but the smartcard. -- Grant "I am gravely disappointed. Again you have made me unleash my dogs of war."
