Perhaps the most critical for those watching this list, is the purported non-support of CAC cards in Lion. The militarycac.com website is reporting that Pkard is the only option for CAC support for Lion. I swear I thought that Shawn Geddis has implied that the new CAC cards would be supported in Lion because the tokend was updated but not yet published to the Sourceforge site. Seems like a big disconnect. Maybe CAC support was pulled at the last minute?
My ;articular interest is also in the support of the ECA-type of certificates for us contractor-folk. Currently Pkard does not support these cards. Although Im pretty sure that someone from Thursby follows this list. Can you support some of these cards? My ORC-issued ECA Smart Card is reported as a Gemalto Cyberflex Access 64k V2C.

Bob,
With respect to OS X Lion, please see my previous message.
With respect to your "Gemalto Cyberflex Access 64k V2C". What Applet is loaded on the card ? On OS X, it is not actually the card per se that determines support or not, but rather what applet is loaded. OS X requires a Tokend for each Applet/Profile and if that is not recognized then OS X is unable to use the card. You would need to acquire a Tokend (open source or commercial) to support whatever applet is loaded on your Smart Card.
