All pretty much true and much appreciated.

Unless I'm missing something, Tiger shipped without enabling cryptographic
logon with CAC and a working CAC demographic reader application. Both of
these things were working in Panther to whatever degree. I understand the
fundamental change in the way these things will be ultimately implemented,
but the lack of functionality sure seems like a regression.
I think Brian R. indicated that he had submitted a bug report on the card
reader app (the one that reads the demographic data) a while ago. The lack
of logon support (even if it is simply undocumented at this point) seems
pretty obvious and shouldn't require any extra effort on our part.
