I entered a directory that contains no fingerprint files. The error message is: "Import der Fingerabdruck Dateien fehlgeschlagen" ("import of fingerprint files failed"). When I click on details, it says: /bin/cp: Aufruf von stat für „/home/*.bir“ nicht möglich: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden ("file or directory not found") So probably this is as expected? Otherwise, the fingerprint system seems not to work here. I activated the fingerprint system in the yast module, and I added fingerprints to my regular user and root using the yast usermanagement. At some point, I was asked for "password or fingerprint" when typing su on the command line, and I think it worked once, but now it does not. Also since activating it, the KDE screen saver sometimes does not accept my password (with a different error message than when typing a wrong password; something about "pam", but I don't remember, and it does not happen right now; possibly it happens mostly after resuming from suspend to ram, but I am not sure). Typing it again helps. At some point, when I was asked for the root password when starting yast in kde, swiping my finger lead to a reaction (an error message, I think), but I never could log into yast by fingerprint. Now yast does not react to swiping my finger at all. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Yes, this is expected. The help text says "To import fingerprint files from different installations, choose the directory where the files are located.", which means the directory is really meant only to contain your own *.bir that are just copied to /etc/pam_thinkfinger. Maybe the help text should be clearer. I'll fix the selection of directory in YaST (and also check for presence of *.bir files in import directory). Or maybe the module will be redesigned for next release, so this would look better anyway. The rest of the report is for the fingerprint authentication itself, not for its YaST configuration... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
