[Pki-users] Utimaco HSM "Not Found" problem

Sorry - after I sent my earlier email I realized you probably 
encountered the same problem I did.

I need to report the bug to Utimaco/Sophos, but the driver on the 2.01 
disk for Linux appears to have problems finding the configuration file 
in the standard locations.  I'm not sure exactly what the problem is.  
You can duplicate this by clearing the CS2_PKCS11_INI environment 
variable, placing the cs2_pkcs11.ini file in one of the standard 
locations  - e.g. /usr/etc/cs2_pkcs11.ini and then running the modutil 
command again over  a blank database and try and add the module again.   
If you get the error CKR_FUNCTION_FAILED - its the same issue.

Strangely enough, the config file is found, its just not loaded for some 
reason.  (Do an 'strace' and look at the "access" calls).
