Better Smart Card Support
Smart Card support is *VERY* important. While RHEL 5 and 6 currently support Smart Cards, getting them up and running is a PITA.
The DoD lives by Smart Cards, and Red Hat's DoD customers would be very happy if Red Hat improved their smart card support to make it:
- Easier to set up DoD CAC Card login capabilities
- SSH support for CAC Cards
- Smart-card authentication for Windows network shares
Please note: Kerberos and LDAP smart card support is not always doable on DoD systems due to political reasons (getting approval from people who generally say 'no' to everything). If, however, Red Hat can make connecting to an AD server as seamless as possible, and even tie in smart card support for that, you will have a lot of happy DoD customers.
