I'm not sure that OpenSC and the primary interface (PKCS#11) is actually executed with system privileges unless you use it in tandem of some system-privileges software (like CSP11 for example) But I agree that using the platform tools is always a good thing to do for platform specific software. > For XP and Vista, it would also be wise for OpenSC to start using > Manifests to make OpenSC more compatible, as it is security related > code. Douglas, I believe you were the one who sent in the manifests related patches: http://www.mail-archive.com/opensc-devel@lists.opensc-project.org/msg00755.html Is there something still missing? -- Martin Paljak http://martin.paljak.pri.ee +3725156495 _______________________________________________ opensc-devel mailing list opensc-devel@lists.opensc-project.org http://www.opensc-project.org/mailman/listinfo/opensc-devel
