Good to know Britgirl. However, I am a bit disappointed that it is considered a “low” priority. Many business and organizations are rapidly moving to two-factor smartcard authentication and I would think it would be a higher priority, particularly if they are making go/no-go purchase decision in the near future.
Our regional organization is evaluating different Linux remote desktop solutions for about 35 field offices with several hundred clients and this is a required feature. Successful use of the smartcard for remote access could very well drive the expansion to the other regions and headquarters with the potential of thousands of clients, etc.
