This pam plugin never used GDBus because it transparently uses threads which do not work well with a lot of PAM applications. But even settling on the "still better to use than plain dbus library" dbus-glib wasn't without problems, as any use or initialisation of GIO sockets would modify signal handler for signals such as SIGPIPE (see gio/gsocket.c). Many years later, sd-bus is a more modern alternative to the bare dbus library with a better API. This includes: - Removing use of gboolean, guint, g_new0() and many glib string helpers - Simplifying debug logging - Marking user-facing messages to be translated

Licensed under the GPL version 2 or any later version (see COPYING). A PAM login module is included in the 'pam' directory. 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
