Comment 1 Cedric Simon 2014-11-06 16:53:48 UTC

Solved by modifying the file /usr/lib/systemd/system/pcscd.service

Remove the $PCSCD_OPTIONS on line 8.

I am not sure what $PCSCD_OPTIONS is used for...

New content:
[Unit]
Description=PC/SC Smart Card Daemon
Requires=pcscd.socket

[Service]
Environment=PCSCD_OPTIONS=""
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/pcscd
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/pcscd --foreground --auto-exit
ExecReload=/usr/sbin/pcscd --hotplug

[Install]
Also=pcscd.socket

System now starts but card not read.

rcpcscd status
pcscd.service - PC/SC Smart Card Daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/pcscd.service; static)
   Active: active (running) since Thu 2014-11-06 11:09:10 CST; 4s ago
 Main PID: 27046 (pcscd)
   CGroup: /system.slice/pcscd.service
           `-27046 /usr/sbin/pcscd --foreground --auto-exit

Nov 06 11:09:10 xps17.clinsis.com pcscd[27046]: 00000000 utils.c:87:GetDaemonPid() Can't open /var/run/pcscd/pcscd.pid: No such file or directory

Note that /var/run/pcscd/pcscd.pid exists and is owned by root.

When running "pcscd" as root, then card can be read, but only if application running as root :S

Any idea how to fix this to have card read from normal user, using service (and not pcscd directly)?

As stated in http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs/2014-10/msg03651.html the $PCSCD_OPTIONS could stay is replacing the "" by " at the end, when declared.
