For example the egate cards are USB devices so the pcscd could theoretically be started by udev when the card is plugged in. But the library currently doesn't work right when the daemon is (re)started when it was already initialized. And even if this was fixed the reaction time for an app to actually discover that a smartcard was plugged in is already pretty long. So making it even longer due to having to start the pcscd is not too good idea. -- Tomas Mraz No matter how far down the wrong road you've gone, turn back.
