Hi,
since pcsc-lite-1.6.0 pcscd deamon would not be started by default.
Instead, libpcsclite will try to start it on SCardEstablishContext().
LC_Client_Start() tries to find chipcard readers invoking
LC_Client_UpdateReaderStates(). Neither LC_Client_Start() nor
LC_Client_UpdateReaderStates() create a communication context before
looking for readers with SCardListReaders(). As a result, no reader
would be found using default configuration.
I recommend creating a context before SCardListReaders() as suggested
by http://pcsclite.alioth.debian.org/pcsc-lite/node10.html.
Thanks

Hi,
you're right. I was reading to fast through the code.
The reason for the problem was a missing udev rule. During
an update I've lost it. As a result the device file of the
chipcard reader "changed" from group cyberjack to group
root. So a pcscd daemon starting at boot-time could still
access it. But access was denied to non-root users who
can start pcscd "on demand" whith their privileges. As
a result they can't find a chipcard reader.
