Thank you for explanation.  I could imagine the use case for
OpenPGPcard authentication for local sudo (or remote sudo).  I guess
that this can be done by pam module for SSH authentication by
ssh-agent.  If really needed, we could write new pam module doing
similar by connecting gpg-agent (instead of socket for ssh).

Although I have a bit of experience with Poldi, frankly speaking, I
don't quite understand the need for local login authentication with
OpenPGPcard.  For me, if I do some access control for my own PC, it
would be better to consider removing keyboard from a PC, or securing
access to the room where I have a PC.

Anyway, I do understand now, there are some needs for local login
authentication with OpenPGPcard.

Thank you, again.
