[SmartcardServices-Users] MacOS Sierra version

[Brian Shiro]

I tried the El Capitan version of Smart Card Services on Sierra with no success. The installer gave up immediately with an error saying the OS was wrong.

Hoping Sierra's new built-in Smart Card tokends might work without having to install anything extra, I had tried that first. That too did not work. I did not know I had a Smart Card reader connected at all.
