Hello,

recently the arch package for pcsclite changed their PKGBUILD to build pcsclite with polkit support:
Changes in 1.9.9-3./configure \    --prefix=/usr \    --sbindir=/usr/bin \    --sysconfdir=/etc \    --disable-static \    --enable-filter \    --enable-ipcdir=/run/pcscd \    --enable-libudev \    --enable-usbdropdir=/usr/lib/pcsc/drivers \    --enable-polkit \    --with-systemdsystemunitdir=/usr/lib/systemd/system


I am now facing the problem, that in initramfs no polkit daemon is available.
Before integrating polkit support in pcscd, i was able to connect to my Smartcard in initramfs stage.
Now with polkit support it seems pcscd is not letting opensc connect to its daemon anymore.
I think because it lacks the polkit libraries etc, so i denies all request by default.

Is it possible to start pcscd without polkit support, so i can use pcscd in initramfs ?
Any other idea how to use pcscd in this stage is also greatly appreciated 

Many thanks

Rodolfo
