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)?
