pcscd service not starting

I got pcscd listed in the services section of system.yaml (see attached screenshot), yet the pcscd service does not start upon reboot:

[dad@DadsGram ~]$ systemctl status pcscd
○ pcscd.service - PC/SC Smart Card Daemon
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/pcscd.service; indirect; preset: disabled)
     Active: inactive (dead)
TriggeredBy: ● pcscd.socket
       Docs: man:pcscd(8)

[dad@DadsGram ~]$ systemctl status pcscd
○ pcscd.service - PC/SC Smart Card Daemon
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/pcscd.service; indirect; preset: disabled)
     Active: inactive (dead)
TriggeredBy: ● pcscd.socket
       Docs: man:pcscd(8)

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? (Should I have pcscd.socket listed in the services section instead of mere pcscd?)

it says it's not enabled or disabled does the service have an Install= entry or similar? or is it started by something else try systemctl list-dependencies pcscd oh wait I see ummm try adding pcscd.socket instead

you mean pcscd.socket instead of pcscd in services?

Nevermind. Simply pcscd does it. It turns out that I need to first launch the Yubico application to trigger the service.
