Hi,
I've been using a yubikey for years now with pcscd to use gpg/ssh, and
sadly this issue hasn't really been getting any better; if anything, it
has gotten worse throughout time. Could be something kernel related too,
I suppose.
Anyway, almost every time I boot my machine, I need to manually restart
pcscd before it will talk to my yubikey. Originally I thought maybe it's
related to whether I have it plugged in while booting or not, but really
it isn't, I normally don't have it plugged in, and yet it won't work
until I've restarted pcscd. Which is then fine until I reboot again. For
the record, this is with various recent versions of Fedora, and
pcsc-lite version 1.9.9.

I'm not sure how I can generate the logs, certainly I couldn't run with
--foreground since the issue only ever happens with the pcscd instance
that starts during boot. Could also be something permissions related, I
suppose, but I honestly don't even know where to start looking.
Has anyone encountered such an issue before, or have any ideas where to
start looking?
Thanks,
johannes
