Hi Lionel, Hi Joachim,

sorry for the late reply from my side.

I talked to Werner about this. And he basically said two things:

* It's quite some work to implement the concept of a global
configuration file in SCDaemon correctly. Especially gpgconf would need
to be changed for supporting this.

* It's rather easy to make scdaemon choose a default configuration file
(e.g. /etc/gnupg/scdaemon.conf) in case the user running SCDaemon does
not have his own SCDaemon configuration file.

In any case, I guess we will have a solution for a future version of
SCDaemon.

I just did that. Poldi-0.4.1 can be fetched from

ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/poldi/

It contains only some minor bug fixes and changes, no new features.
(will post an announcement message soon).

thanks,
moritz
