Hello, I released a development version of pcsc-lite that includes RPC. You can now connect using multiple applications, run your applications as non-root, and simultaneously get status changes. This version also uses a forking() pcscserver which will for on GetStatusChange commands as well as Transmit() commands. So you can unblock GetStatusChange commands. The server also does NOT sit in a dead lock when a GetStatusChange or a Transmit command is waiting to finish. You can connect to remote smartcard readers using this just by providing the hostname. 3 new reader drivers will be provided soon ....... I strongly suggest reading the README file for more information.
