Hi Jack, thanks for the reply!
AFAIK, my card is the same as all other cards issued by USDA, and I suspect the same as
all other cards issued by the US Government. It's not a test card or anything.
I killed pcscd and ran it on the command line to capture logs (attached). I didn't see
anything which set off red flags for me. It looks like it's detecting card insertion
and removal events. I'm including the output of "pkcs11_inspect debug", run
both as my user account and as root via sudo. All of this was done with coolkey. The
cackey module in /etc/pam_pkcs11/pam_pkcs11.conf was commented out. The only real
difference between now and previously is that now the light comes on. (Still fails with no
token available, tho.)
I'm just not seeing anything that points me at a solution. Hope you can intuit more
from this.
Bryce

The coolkey pkcs#11 module should provide enough functionality for smart
card login with CAC cards.
I know there is plenty of code in the coolkey driver to handle CACs. Of course
your particular card could be some special case I'm not aware of.
There are a few things that could be wrong.
1. Check to make sure the "psc-lite" daemon is running.
2. There might be an issue with your reader. For instance the ccid driver
sometimes needs to be configured to allow for readers that require a higher
voltage such as the omnikey.
One thing to try, with coolkey and your card and reader.
1. Kill pcscd as root.
2. run it manually such that it throws log messages to the console
/usr/sbin/pcscd -f -d -a.
3. Insert the card , watch the logs for any suspicious messages which might
provide a clue.
If the log says the card is being recognized, then we could possible get some
coolkey logs when you attempt that pkcs11 command mentioned earlier.
thanks,
jack
