@izaac @chudak Let's try that again, but now with more system status page, since the widget does let you mask via UI:

the whole world can see how a small thing can generate a big question..
no one, but no one, is so concerned about the NSO scandal...
(I hate the politic, - personally)this is also informatics, in my reading I hope..

@anthonys Thanks a bunch! - Had my memory ramping up to the hilt (96%) within a few days, even killing DNS for lack of space. Then I found around 1 G used up for pcscd. Followed your suggestion, and immediately everything was down to normal.
I for one call that a real bugger!

Hello!
Current setup is pfsense 2.5.2 as a virtual appliance. I'm connected via RDP on a server on the LAN side. Basically i noted some freezing rdp issues. Than i started to ping and i saw timeout so the issue is with pfsense. As you can see i'm running out of memory. Since a reboot can easily fix this, my question is can i troubleshoot it? Any idea what is happening? the /usr/local/sbin/pcscd is eating almost 60% of ram and the swap is gone...
why it is even running the pcscd process?
edit: ok i see it is a known problem but why they have not fixed it yet :)
-
It's fixed in 2.6 and 21.09. Before then you can apply patch to 2.5.2 if you are affected:

@albgen said in "pcscd PC/SC Smart Card Daemon" ?:

Because a newer version isn't released yet.
The code is merged.
Merged to into what becomes later on a future version of pfSense.But why wait ?
You saw the code jimp posted (above).
Stop the pcscd process manually first.
Install the patches pfSense package.
Create a patch.
Copy paste the code jimp showed (see above)
Give it a description - like the URL of the forum thread.
Now : Ok - Test - and Apply.
Done.Example :
When you created the patch, you wind up having this :
Now,
Test,
Apply.
Solved.No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.

@gertjan @stephenw10 thanks guys

APPLY is missing ... Hmmmm

@fireodo said in "pcscd PC/SC Smart Card Daemon" ?:

Did you Fetch (download) it? (docs) Or, if it doesn't show Apply it might not have been entered correctly, and the package is smart enough to not let you break things. The very first one I did I accidentally pasted in he wrong URL and ran into that.
If nothing else you can just stop the service (Status/Services page) until 21.09 is out. Presumably your router won't restart that often...

Indeed. I will wait ...
-
Indeed if it doesn't show 'apply' that means it cannot be applied.

Yes.

Hmm, that should work, I just retested it to be sure. The only reason it wouldn't is if you already have some other changes to the files it's trying to patch.
