I doubt it we can use the e-id for authentication. Using an openpgp smartcard 
it's a breeze (just use libpam-poldi, see here 
http://www.schiessle.org/howto/poldi.shtml), but the e-id isn't an openpgp 
smartcard, despite the fact that it contains public key encryption mechanism. 

I think that you need a custom build pam module to authenticate with it.
