I ran into the same thing before, but I got around it by using the SmartCardServices StartupItem from an ActivCard installer.
What you do is find the ActivCard installer on Shawn's website, decompress it and go through the folders. You should be able to find a folder called SmartCardServices. Copy that folder to your /System/Library/StartupItems folder and reboot.
After your Mac has rebooted, login and check whether or not the SmartCardServices worked by running Activity Monitor and see if pcscd is running.
If you can't find the SmartCardServices folder, drop me a note and I'll e-mail it to you.

I recently procured a SCR243 PCMCIA card reader for my PB but have not been able to read my CAC card.
I suspect that the reason is as stated below.
How does one get pcscd to start automatically?
Any other tips for getting the SCR243 to work efficiently with 10.4.3 would also be appreciated.

Hi all,
I've been doing some researches on this list, and have found Shawn's
write-ups really helpful in getting my CAC working on 10.4.2.
My question is, though, why doesn't pcscd starts automatically whenever
the CAC is inserted (I am using a SCM SCR243 PCMCIA on my PowerBook)? I
read it somewhere that securityd is supposed to starts pcscd whenever the
card is inserted, but mine doesn't do that and I always have to start pcscd
manually as root. But as soon as pcscd has started, then my CAC shows up
on Keychain.
Is there something I need to do to get pcscd start automatically?
Thanks for your help!!
Frank
