Why not make the udev rule start pcscd, running as a system user (nobody?), when a reader is connected? >From wikipedia: """udev is the device manager for the Linux 2.6 kernel series. Primarily, it manages device nodes in /dev. It is the successor of devfs and hotplug, which means that it handles the /dev directory and all user space actions when adding/removing devices, including firmware load.""" The "all user space actions when adding/removing devices" seems interesting. I tried the latest SVN version on top of Ubuntu, but need to tweak the /var/run/pcsc permissions apparently.
