This shouldn't be the case when pcsc-lite is installed, since scdaemon uses libpcsclite.so by default, and libusb interface is secondary (although, on Debian GnuPG might be compiled differently). The "pcscd" group exists only for pcsclite, see http://ludovicrousseau.blogspot.com/2010/09/pcscd-auto-start.html: “The group "pcscd" should be used only by pcsc-lite so only pcscd has access to smart card readers. The pcscd process has only gained the minimum rights needed to do its job (instead of gaining root access).” -- Maxim Kammerer Liberté Linux: http://dee.su/liberte _______________________________________________ tails-dev mailing list tails-dev@boum.org https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev
