Hi Armin & Bernhard, Thank you very much! While the version included with Debian Jessie does end up in a segfault, the nightly does do the job very well. I will try next if a backport version from Debian Testing exists, which may do the job also. If so, I will stick with Debian (backport) packages. If not, I will use the nightly versions for the time being.
This is of great help, as I (SOHO user, not grand scale) have two remaining thin clients good with smartcards and dual monitor support from a two-letter manufacturer saying (implicitly): buy new hardware or be stuck with Windows 7. I will buy new hardware, but rather something where I do not depend on the manufacturer's mercy in terms of what they want to include in their images. From a component manufacturer focusing on energy efficient power supplies, one can get - for the same price - hardware good for a quite flexible Debian system which performs as an RDP client plus a good mini desktop PC without being stuck in any way. Of course, dealing with linux is not effort-free as one can see here, but dealing with the image system of the two-letter manufacturer is not easy either and not worth the effort, if one uses only two thin clients. This helps to remove proprietary software wherever possible.

The name you can get from the output of opensc-tool --list-readers Regards Armin On 03/07/2016 07:23 PM, Prof. Dr. Michael Schefczyk wrote: > Hi Bernhard, > > Thank you very much for your prompt response!
