Dan: As seen from the attachment, it is "pcscd" daemon that is receiving the denial. Would you have any thoughts on this issue? thanks, jack
Funny you should ask, I spent most of yesterday with my new pcmcia smartcard reader, crashing kernels and writing policy. So I have some fixes that will go into rawhide as soon as the merge allows me to update. Fixed in selinux-policy-2.6.3-1.fc7
Thank you very much for updating us on this! Just a question: 1. Would you like for us to give the RPM (when ready) a quick test with our Smart Cards and present feedback? We'd be happy to grab an RPM if it would be useful. thanks again, jack
The policy should be available now.
