pcsc_connect and PCSC_SHARE_EXCLUSIVE

Hello,

im trying to use gnupg with some other application that is accessing my
OpenPGP card.
Thats not possible because gnupg wants PCSC_SHARE_EXCLUSIVE rights for
the card.
Why doesnt it use PCSC_SHARE_SHARED to connect to a smartcard?

Regards,
Gordian

Because it requires full control over the card. Think of scdaemon as a
replacement for pcscd.

If you don't like that, you may use the ssdaemon option --card-timeout to
release the context if no client is connected to scdaemon.
