pcscd filling /var/log/messages with SCardConnect() Card Not Inserted errors when Firefox running

Hi,

Running RHEL 6.7 managed by Satellite 5.6 proxy subscribed to RHEL Workstation v.6 for x86_64 channel.

pcsc-lite-1.5.2-15 and firefox-38.6.1.1 installed.

The pcscd daemon is generating pcscd: winscard.c:362:SCardConnect() Card Not Inserted error messages every few seconds when Firefox is running and no smart card is inserted in the reader. This is a fairly recent problem; these errors were not present when I was tailing /var/log/messages several months ago while working on another issue.

I understand this problem was identified and fix issued several years ago by pcsc-lite author/maintainer: http://ludovicrousseau.blogspot.com/2011/07/pcscd-debug-output.html

I also found a Redhat bug that was closed after an errata was issued: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=707412

From my very limited knowledge of Redhat subscriptions and Satellite servers, I have the latest version of pcsc-lite available for Redhat 6.x workstations and would guess the errata the was issued in 2011 is a part of the rpm I have now.

Hoping someone can suggest a next step for me to resolve this problem.

Thanks!

Jim
