So this project's Tokend is identical to Tokend-35209?

Well, I'm told that's the problem.  I can't say I know that's the  
issue independently.  I just know that the 10.5.6 Tokend can't  
identify the user for loginwindow.  OpenSC Tokend and ActiveIdentity  
Tokend can do that, but they can't unlock the card with a PIN.

If I got past this hump, I'd ask about Apple's support for MIT  
Kerberos' pre-auth plugin interface and PKINIT, but that would be  
severely off-topic.  ;-)
