Or if your smartcard supports PKCS#11 interface you can use the
gnupg-pkcs11-scd from http://gnupg-pkcs11.sourceforge.net and OpenSSH
PKCS#11 from http://alon.barlev.googlepages.com/openssh-pkcs11, this
way you can use your smartcard with many application at the same time
without stopping any interface or making the card locked by one of
them.
