yes, running and ready.

Do you mean pcscd? Yes it is installed and running.

Executing this command does not work. gpg-connect-agent says it got
wrong arguments. Or do you mean to replace 'SCD getinfo version' by
the version number of pcscd?

Non-root users have read access only - to any USB device. It guess
that pcscd has root privileges; so this is fine?

This file did not exist yet so I created it.

Is "/etc/init.d/pcscd restart" doing the same job?
