The new version of poldi-ctrl doesn’t support any of the above command line options. I’m struggling a bit under Ubuntu Karmic to get this all to work. My biggest problem seems to be the pam side of things.
I’ve manually set up files under /etc/poldi/localdb, one called users and the other in a subdirectory called keys with my public key in it, but things just aren’t working at the moment.
/usr/share/doc/libpam-poldi/MIGRATION was helpful, as was finding the source code to libpam-poldi package and reading the documentation which for some reason the Ubuntu package doesn’t seem to install properly.

Would love an update to this blog post to cover the more recent versions of poldi-ctrl etc.

I’m personally in quite a confusion about ssh-agent, gpg-agent, scdaemon, seamonkey and various other factors and how they all intermingle (not to mention again this pam problem where I just seem to get immediately 3 bad passwords received with no attempt to access or request a pin)

Thanks.
