Currently pcscd must run as root, right?
Maybe I miss something... Can I run pcscd using none root account?
pcscd need to be run as root because:
- it creates files in /var/run but you can change that using --enable-ipcdir=DIR
- USB readers devices in /proc/bus/usb/... are only writable by root,
but that can be changed using a udev rule for example
You can configure your system to run pcscd as a normal user. It is
just a bit more work.
Running pcscd as root may be a problem if you do not trust code
executed as root by pcscd, like a proprietary driver. Do you have
other concerns?
