[SmartcardServices-Users] two observed Snow Leopard anomalies relating to PKI/smartcard/certs

[David Emery]

This should not be construed as a complaint (or a bug report), I'm still trying to understand these (operating system is Snow Leopard fully patched):

1.  With PKard 1.1 installed, it seems that I cannot log onto my account if it's FileVault protected.  I get something like 'account not available'.  Removing the card and rebooting fixes that problem.

2.  In Mail.app, if I get an email from someone whose Cert depends on a DoD Intermediate Cert that is not loaded in Keychain.app (e.g. CA-25), the message is marked as 'not trusted'.  If I click on that box and tell Mail "always trust this cert", both Mail.app and Keychain.app hang.  This generally messes up the machine sufficiently that a reboot is necessary.

Has anyone else observed these?
