Adventures with BSD Episode 2(AKA Yub(sd)ico)
So this is going to be a relativity quick post. I got my yubikey working on GhostBSD.
This was something really simple and stupid in the end(As i suspected). In the process of moving away from systemd on linux i had to re-enable all boot time services. One of which was pcscd which is a service for interacting with smart cards which the yubikey is one(or at least that's how it's interface to)
So all that was needed was to install pcsc-lite from the software station. Then run
sudo service pcscd start
And the yubico authenticator desktop app now finds my yubikey and is able to generate OTP codes!! YAY!
Then to ensure the service is started at boot
sudo rc-update add pcscd default
and voila working yubikey on BSD.
That's all for now

Until next time. Stay safe!
