Description

In wondering something just now, I ran 'pktool list', which asked me for a PIN I don't know. I hit return and it said (in full):

% pktool list
Enter PIN for Sun Software PKCS#11 softtoken: 

Error listing objects:
keystore error: CKR_PIN_LEN_RANGE
libkmf error: KMF_ERR_AUTH_FAILED

stringifying error defines is not how nice people provide user-visible error messages, they should be sentences that describe what's wrong (this is presumably true for most errors pktool reports?)
