I'm trying to install a USB certificate token on OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 (14B25) and the guides tell me to check that a certain daemon named pcscd is running and to start from /usr/sbin/pcscd
if not.
Here a link to the guide: http://wiki.infonotary.com/wiki/Installation_of_smart_card_reader_and_smart_card_drivers_in_Mac_OS_X#Manually_running_and_stopping_pcscd
However it does not exist.
I execute:
sh-3.2# cd /usr/sbin
sh-3.2# ls -la |grep pcscd
sh-3.2#
and as visible there is no file named pcscd
.
There is also no process called pcscd
when running
ps -a -u root
Should I install some additional package for this one?

I managed to resolve this on my own.
Looks like the smartcard was actually working even if the pcscd executable is not present. Most probably the functionality was integrated into another service.
