Description Michal Svec 2008-04-10 14:06:37 UTC

If I want to set a fingerprint for a user for the first time, users plugin
just states I need to enable it in another module and returns.

Much more comfortable way would be to just offer enabling fingerprints
immediately and directly continue.

Hm, but we don't setup PAM in yast2-users, this is the same for LDAP etc.

It looks more like a feature request. It could require a change in the API of the plugins. Please, create a fate entry.

Comment 2 Michal Svec 2008-04-11 10:16:34 UTC

I agree it's somewhere in between a feature and a bug.
I'll let Stano weigh in :-)

Comment 3 Jiří Suchomel 2008-04-11 11:57:35 UTC

Michal, pam_thinkfinger packagage wasn't installed by default? IMHO it should, it has the same 

Supplements:    modalias(usb:v0483p2016d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*)


as yast2-fingerprint-reader.

And if it is installed, it should get enabled during the installation.

And the answer for question in comment 3?

Comment 6 Michal Svec 2008-04-11 12:35:26 UTC

At least yast wanted to install it (bug 378737) so I suppose it was not :)
For sure it could be possible to find out from the logs in that bug.

Comment 7 Jiří Suchomel 2008-04-14 07:07:51 UTC

Well, first - I think doing PAM configuration from a plugin  in users module is a feature, so please open a feature request if you want it.

Second - exactly this case should be actually solved by installing pam_thinkfinger, which should be preselected automatically. Let's solve this issue in bug 378737 (or maybe in another one).
