Re: [rdesktop-devel] Smartcard support in rdesktop ?

[Matt C. <mat...@cs...>]

Yes, there is no support for smartcard access in rdesktop.  Smartcard
redirection is implemented as a generic device redirection over the
RDPDR channel, similar to serial/parallel/disk/etc., so it shouldn't be
too hard to do if someone wants to attempt it.  I personally don't have
a smartcard or a smartcard reader.
