I've had many weird problems with apple pcscd/ccid driver.
Some time in December, some update caused two readers that used to
work, start to spit usb errors in the dmesg. 10.4.4 fixed it - it
works for a while now. But again - cards and readers 'disappear' from
the system because of this:
At the same time it works without problems on linux and other unixes
(os OSX with Ludovic's CCID driver and a private pcscd instance)
I've tested different CCID compatible readers from SCM as well as
Omnikey and Eutron and Gemplus.
Also, I tried a PCMCIA reader (SCR241) that seems to be supported by
apple (/usr/libexec/SmartCardServices/drivers/SCR24XHndlr.bundle) but
with no luck. pcscd was not started, and even after manual start
there were no readers found.
So in real life this is really important or it is very hard to roll
out any serious eID applications when the only place something works
is developers testbed (and i seriously DO want to have a tokend
running in parallel with pkcs#11, but currently the only way to get a
stable pkcs#11 implementation is to have a private pcscd running and /
usr/sbin/pcscd made chmod -x :()
Cheers,
m.
