So the problem with this type of change is that none of the developers have access to the hardware in question, and thus little way to test. Past experience with software token emulation has been problematic too. In this case, the following cleaned-up diff should minimise the effect on the the non-pinpad case. Can you say whether it solves your problem? diff --git a/ssh-pkcs11.c b/ssh-pkcs11.c index cc8ab3a..b5f8b3c 100644 --- a/ssh-pkcs11.c +++ b/ssh-pkcs11.c @@ -236,6 +236,9 @@ pkcs11_login_slot(struct pkcs11_provider *provider, struct pkcs11_slotinfo *si, { char *pin = NULL, prompt[1024]; CK_RV rv; + int have_pinpad; + + have_pinpad = si->token.flags & CKF_PROTECTED_AUTHENTICATION_PATH; if (provider == NULL || si == NULL || !provider->valid) { error("no pkcs11 (valid) provider found"); @@ -243,12 +246,11 @@ pkcs11_login_slot(struct pkcs11_provider *provider, struct pkcs11_slotinfo *si, } if (!pkcs11_interactive) { - error("need pin entry%s", - (si->token.flags & CKF_PROTECTED_AUTHENTICATION_PATH) ? + error("need pin entry%s", have_pinpad ?
