[Gnuk-users] Admin less mode (opt-out possible)

[Alexander Paetzelt | Nitrokey]

Hello,

the admin less mode (see
http://www.fsij.org/doc-gnuk/gnuk-passphrase-setting.html#set-up-pw1-pw3-and-reset-code)
of the Gnuk which is considered the only non-GnuPG Card conform feature
is making trouble for some of our users. The main problem is that GnuPG
just does not inform the user about it. So some of them are fully
unaware that they are enabling this special feature just by changing the
user-PIN before changing the admin-PIN. The consequences are in best
case confusion in worst a bricked device (cause PIN is blocked and reset
code not set beforehand)...

Is it may possible to disable this feature during compilation (in
future)? It would help us a lot.

Kind regards
Alex
