Re: help: pcscd is harassing me

Thank you for the info. This will allow development to get to work and support be able to assist customers who encounter this problem. Still, are there any hints to help me figure out why this problem (i.e. my non-smart-card device being treated like one) is happening? Naturally, it is preferable for this product to not require disablement of system functionality.

Problem #1: When this USB-based peripheral is plugged into a Mac pcscd is launched. Why? Is there some debug flags I can set to find out what securityd is thinking which causes it to launch pcscd? (which, I've read, is the protocol for its launch)

If you won't need smart cards at all on your system, try modifying / private/etc/mach_init.d/securityd.plist. Change

<string>/usr/sbin/securityd</string>

to

<string>/usr/sbin/securityd -s off</string>

and reboot. This should keep securityd from trying to handle smart cards at all.
