It’s nice to have so quick and active users espetialy for open source developer. It remainds me I have to run linuxbiometrics.com comunity site finally.<\/p>\n

\nI tested today the current pam-bioapi CVS. I run Ubuntu Edgy with

It works fine, although you’re right: the password field shouldn’t be
\nshown if no password is requested.<\/p>\n

But I saw the following issues:
\nThe GUI isn’t shown anymore when logging in via GDM, so I have you swipe
\nmy finger „blindly“.
\nThis also happens with gksudo.<\/p>\n

I think, your new pam_conv() surpresses the GUI. Is this right?<\/p>\n

Looking forward to test any new version.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is my reply:<\/p>\n

Yes, it’s true. In fact GDM and gksudo should better implement
\npam_conv() mechanism or I have still in pam_bioapi some bug. I’m
\nplanning add possibility to configure by pam parameters if pam_conv()
\nwill be used or not. Problem is that every pam enabled application is
\nforced to supply pam_conv() function for pam module (but some
\napplication just define pam_conf() which don’t do anything) so I’m not
\nable to test myself from pam_bioapi if use pam_conv() or standard GUI.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow I’ll commit new version to cvs. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
