Hello,

im successfully using pam_poldi to authenticate myself with my openPGP
card. Logon to KDE and su work just as expected.
But there is a problem with kdesu. It only works when the PIN of my card
 is already cached.
This is how it works for me: Login to KDE using my PIN. If i do kdesu
now it doesnt work. I have to do a su in a terminal to enter my PIN so
it is cached. Now kdesu works, it doesnt show up but it works.
When i say kdesu doesnt work i mean the following: It doesnt show up
plus if i do kdesu without a cached PIN i cannot do a normal su in
terminal my more. su doesnt even fall back to pam_unix, it just waits
for something..
Ejecting or reinserting the card doesnt help. I need to logoff and login
again in order to get su to work again.
Whats the problem with pam_poldi nd kdesu? And how can it be fixed?

Regards,
G. Klein
