pam_fprintd is very careful to use its own main loop context (as it should) to prevent getting in the way of the gnome-screensaver. Unfortunately, there's a small bug in its logic where it ends up removing a random file descriptor from the default context. In the bug report that file descriptor is really important. It's what tells gnome-screensaver when to drop the dialog. The patch is as simple as: - g_source_remove (timeout_id); + g_source_destroy (source); (g_source_remove always operates on the default context) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=614573
fprintd ======= http://www.reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Fprintd Daemon to offer libfprint functionality over D-Bus Currently in early stages. Might eat your kangaroo. Written in C. Requires bleeding edge libfprint (libusb-1.0 port). Licensed under the GPL version 2 (see COPYING). An experimental PAM login module is included in the 'pam' directory. This will be moved to a separate package once the system has matured. API use cases ============= - User wants to use the fingerprint reader, and enroll his fingerprints, or remove some fingerprints from the database - Administrator wants to enroll fingerprints for a particular user, or remove fingerprints for a particular user - Laptop/desktop authentication: * Check for fingerprint devices * Check whether a particular user has any fingerprints enrolled * Verify a fingerprint for a particular user, or, if the device supports it, verify that the fingerprint matches against any of the fingerprints enrolled - Point Of Sale authentication (in a bar, the fingerprint reader is used to see who accesses a particular point of sale/till, in place of PIN code authentication and/or tokens) * Given a list of users, verify which one has scanned their finger
