PAM with Credit Cards

    I'm looking into something...maybe some long-term plans. Let's say I
handed out a bunch of magnetic cards for students to use, each with a
name on it an/or PIN, and wanted them to walk up to a PC with a reader
and use that card (probably authorized by LDAP somehow) to 'be' their
login/password.

    How tough would it be to write that kinda PAM module?  Has anyone
here done it?

    Thanks
