Bug Description
pam_musclecard enables smartcard authentication in Linux. When configured, gksu does not prompt for the card PIN. When gksu is invoked from the command-line, the pam_musclecard prompt ("Please enter pin") is printed to stderr, but does not accept the PIN on stdin nor does it screen-grab or provide a dialog. Eventually the PAM modules time out and gksu exits.

I should have added: As a result, a smartcard-enabled Ubuntu platform cannot use the smartcard to authenticate and run administrative functions from the GUI. These functions can only be run from the command line using sudo.
