Bug Description

Hi,

Firstly, this is a great module.

In the login manager (GDM or KDM), the PAM prompt is presented to the user. With this module, instead of one with which you'd enter your username and password (rather than insert card then enter PIN) this module should ask for the card to be inserted before it asks for the PIN.

The strings have been changed to request the PIN rather than the password, but should also be done to request the card rather than the username.

Thanks.

I'm using...
Gutsy,
libpam-poldi 0.3.0-4.1,
gdm 2.20.0-0ubuntu6.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 or 9.04?

It exists in 8.10.
I'm not upgrading to a very, very alpha version of Ubuntu (9.04) to test this.
The developers need to take a look and test/fix it in 9.04--not the end users.

Microsoft doesn't ask you in your bug still exists in Vista+1 when Vista is the latest released OS.
