[Gnuk-users] Error changing the PIN: Conditions of use not satisfied

Hey, really excited to try to use gnuk for real!

With a freshly flashed gnuk 1.2.5 on an FST-01, using Debian Stretch, I
cannot seem to change the PIN. I figured I should set a PIN before
uploading keys to it, and tried following the instructions here:

  http://www.fsij.org/doc-gnuk/gnuk-passphrase-setting.html

Was hoping to get it set up in "admin less mode", but I could probably
handle having an admin and reset pin as well, if that's not really
recommended.


I'm not sure if there'se some important step I'm missing, or if
something is genuinely wrong with the gnuk build, the FST-01 hardware,
or somewhere in the gnupg stack:

  $ gpg --edit-card

  Error changing the PIN: Conditions of use not satisfied

Tried with and without entering "admin" command first.  The retry
counter isn't changing, so I'm correctly entering the default pin.

First was using gnupg from Debian stretch (2.1.18-6), and then tried a
local build of the version on it's way to stable-proposed-updates
(2.1.18-8~deb9u1), since it contained some patches related to scdaemon,
but no luck.


Any thoughts or recommended further troubleshooting steps?


live well,
