Again the problem I had in Fedora 17 resurfaced after update to Fedora 19. Service pcscd is not able to add the Aladdin (SmartNet) smart card. Oct 4 10:45:32 localhost systemd[1]: Started PC/SC Smart Card Daemon. Oct 4 10:45:32 localhost pcscd[21497]: 00000000 utils.c:53:GetDaemonPid() Can't open /var/run/pcscd/pcscd.pid: No such file or directory Oct 4 10:45:32 localhost pcscd[21497]: 00001678 dyn_unix.c:81:DYN_GetAddress() IFDHCreateChannelByName: /usr/lib64/pcsc/drivers/openct-ifd.bundle/Contents/Linux/openct-ifd.so: undefined symbol: IFDHCreateChannelByName Oct 4 10:45:32 localhost pcscd[21497]: Error: can't open /var/run/openct/status: No such file or directory Oct 4 10:45:32 localhost pcscd[21497]: 00000083 readerfactory.c:1009:RFInitializeReader() Open Port 0x200000 Failed (usb:0529/0600:libudev:0:/dev/bus/usb/003/037) Oct 4 10:45:32 localhost pcscd[21497]: 00000003 readerfactory.c:312:RFAddReader() Aladdin eToken PRO 64 init failed. Oct 4 10:45:32 localhost pcscd[21497]: 00000073 hotplug_libudev.c:384:HPAddDevice() Failed adding USB device: Aladdin eToken PRO 64 From what I remember in Fedora 17 the bug was due to the broken usb bus resulting in pcscd being unable to lock the USB device (smart card). I mention that if openct is used instead of pcscd the result is: [root@localhost config]# openct-tool list 0 Aladdin eToken PRO 64k The smart card works perfectly. Because pcscd is not working I cannot init a new token with certificates, but I can use without problems with openct an already initialized token.
Found that the problem is due to the order the services were started. service openct start service pcscd start if started in this order then problem is fixed.
