Have you picked _one_ of rsyslog|ntsyslog and `rpm -e theOtherOne`?
several daemons did not seem to work right at all until we did.
I picked rsyslog. You mean syslog-ng? I ran into that trap
a long time ago. That's one of `em!
and as for the ifd handlers for pcsc, you only want to have ccid and
the one
that someone put as a dependency of pcscd. cyberjack seems to hyjack
the ifd
connections until pcscd has no chance of working.
Hm. I have all of pcsc selected and I also have ccid selected.
Can you explain what I need to disable/choose between the
two? I attempted to remove all `smart card' programs until
I realized how entrenched it seems - yum wants to remove
alot of files I did not want removed so I left it alone. There
is one related to ifd and that is ifd-egate and I do not have
that selected.
for some reason they made the pcsc rpm depend on ifd-egate even though it is
for ONE type of reader only, CCID controls a lot of readers and I dare say
MOST recent readers. All the other ifd packages (other than egate and CCID)
should be removed (not installed) if you don't know you need them, I have seen
instances of pcscd taking 100% cpu with some of the others [cyberjack]
installed but unused.
as far as why smart card is entrenched... well certain organizations and
companies are REQUIRING PKI keys on self destroying/locking media for security
reasons, because having only one thing that a user knows (password) between
the bad guys and your data just is NOT good enough any more.
<SNIP>
an `rpm -verify` on the package system-config-services comes in and
any it
depends on may be in order.
ok, tried it and rpm returns nothing. Must be ok.
Most likely, but sanity checks are most times a good thing to do when you know
you are operating in the box wall or on the other side of it, and things seem
a bit strange. :)
