Why did nobody ever tell me I can use Yubikey for SSH without doing all the GPG bullshit?! Using OpenSC with SSH just works!

interesting. Though I use the gpg stuff too. Why do you declare that bit 'bullshit'?

GPG is terrible software and gpg-agent pretending to be ssh-agent is very unreliable. There's also a ridiculous amount of work required to make Yubikey+GPG+SSH work.

I suppose, given I have GPG agent working for GPG stuff, it wasn't that much of a stretch to get it working for SSH too. The biggest pain was getting gnome-keyring-daemon to butt out :D

OTOH I made the Yubikey smartcard+SSH stuff work comparatively easily gist.github.com/jamesog/ad66โ€ฆ
