2012-08-14 My work for money included also setting up a GNU/Linux machine for online banking. The German VR-Bank provided an RSA chipcard and a Reiner SCT Cyberjack pinpad card reader. I used Debian wheezy (testing). First, I wanted to use Hibiscus as banking software because it is actively developed free software and well tailored to the German market. Unfortunately, it does not sup- port RSA cards yet. Hence, I tried Moneyplex. As only bank transfers were required, the free version of Moneyplex was suffi- cient. The test program of the official card reader driver detected the reader. The pcscd middleware/backend/whatever detected the reader and could extract data from the card. Money- plex could not find the card reader or card. I've tried for hours and finally gave up. I was sick of it. My sickness was raised by problems with the WD Caviar Green hard disk: Strange problems without true solutions but hundred guesses what might help, yet non of them truly helped. In the end, I blew the whole thing. Instead, the Windows ap- proach will be improved. The hardware of the now useless new machine was divided amoung other machines and I bought some of the remaining stuff for me personally. Amoung them was a 1TB Hitachi hard disk. My home server had pretty full disks but I had deferred investing into more disk space. Now, I have enough free disk space again. The new disk is a single one; all other disk space is on RAID 1.
