    Hi,
       My university recently bought a lab full of Acer wt300 Terminals
    w/smartcard readers. They asked me to investigate the possibility of
    moving all the student stations to use smart cards for logins. To this end
    I am looking for suggestions on internal smart card readers for PC's that
    work well in Linux and in Windows, that are compatible with the cards read
    by the wt300 (ISO 7816). What flavor/version of linux is the best in terms
    of smart card compatibility? How does the smartcard authentication work
    exactly- is it capable of checking against NIS entries? Does it work with
    pam?
    Thank you in advance for any advice/information.
    Yonah Russ
