if you use pcsc, why don't you disable openct? from the faq: http://www.opensc-project.org/faq.html
--cut-- /var/run/openct/status: No such file or directory OpenSC has support for three driver types below it: PCSC, OpenCT and CT-API. If you want to use OpenSC with PC/SC-Lite only, please edit opensc.conf, look for reader_drivers like and remove the openct driver. If you get this message, but want to use OpenSC with OpenCT, then you have not properly installed OpenCT. Please have a look at the QuickStart docucument in OpenCT, most likely you didn't start the init script or it was not properly installed or something like that. --cut-- also if you use the binary only software from Aladdin, you might want to talk to them - if it is a bug in their software, what can we do about it? pkcs11-tool is a robust tool that works well with opensc and many other vendors pkcs#11 modules, so if it hangs for whatever reason, we need details to find out why. for example run it in a debugger and see in whose code it hangs (my guess: the vendors library). also you could use pkcs11-spy.so to debug the issue (see the documentation for details how to use that one).
