OpenSSH has has smart card support since version 5.4. Basically you load
the smart public keys into your ssh-agent via the command

	ssh-add -s <pkcs11-module>

and unload them via

	ssh-add -e <pkcs11-module>

We are using 
	ssh-add -s opensc-pkcs11.so

which means you need to look into installing opensc and
associated packages. off the top of my head, you'll need 
ccid, pcsc-lite-openct and openct.

So you first job is to get the commands 
	piv-tool --serial
	pkcs11-tool

working with your smartcard. Once you have everything working you can
extract the public keys via
	ssh-keygen -D opensc-pkcs11.so

Good luck.
