Err... That's not what it does, at least to my understanding and
testing. It doesn't make login exit when it is just sitting
idly. *But*, if there is a card reader but no card in the reader and
the user logging in has a card associated with him, then it makes the
whole login process fall back to other authentication methods (such as
pam_unix) when there is no card inserted after the said
timeout. That's the effect I was presenting as desirable.
