This reminds me of a rinetd problem with systemd that I encountered on
openSUSE Leap.  One of our guys fixed the issue, rinetd was starting too
soon in the boot sequence.  But I'm not systemd fluent and don't remember
how it was fixed.  We haven't had any issues with pcscd and smartcards
on openSUSE.
