Why are these needed? card-iasecc.c also uses internal ATR table to match those ATR-s. As a general rule, OpenSC should be usable without a configuration file. A programmatic approach that could be statically compiled should be the default, with the configuration file as a solution to "fix and tune" things that don't work out of the box or otherwise can't be put into the default open source distributable package (think: vendor/setup specific secure messaging, which you want to put into opensc.conf) For historic reasons packagers started to distribute opensc.conf in a location where it is read by default, instead of distributing an *example* configuration file to be used/installed when necessary. Look at the second line of opensc.conf.in: "# Example configuration file". Right now the only uncommented lines are for forcing the protocol selection onto otherwise broken cards. Which should also be changed to a flag in the ATR table and ATR tables of card drivers exposed to core. The same (ATR-s and masks) is needed to be flushed programmatically to Windows registry for Minidriver use. Ideally packagers should be bugged to stop distributing opensc.conf installed into /etc(/opensc). -- @MartinPaljak.net +3725156495 _______________________________________________ opensc-devel mailing list opensc-devel@lists.opensc-project.org http://www.opensc-project.org/mailman/listinfo/opensc-devel
