1) There are applications, that need direct access to the reader, not using pcsc-lite (example: cyberjack utilities). That is why it should allow to access not only to pcsc daemon, but also to users. PolicyKit can ensure, that only users physically sitting at the desk can use the card. 2) Up to now, HAL has no keyword for these devices and cannot report its presence. HAL can easily recognize this device type (at least for USB). It allows to write simple applications: If smart card reader/token is plugged, do something (e. g. launch banking application). -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbra...@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966, +49 911 740538747 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ _______________________________________________ opensc-devel mailing list opensc-devel@lists.opensc-project.org http://www.opensc-project.org/mailman/listinfo/opensc-devel
