But what to do if I want to use fingerprint to gain root privileges? You can say that it's secure, but I don't keep confidential files on my laptop ;) > For example, what if there is a system with just 2 users, you and me? > > Then if I attempt a login and it prompts for username then I > immediately know I can provide your username and read your private > documents :-) I think if there's two accounts with same fingerprint enrolled, these accounts belong to one unique person, aren't they? > Similarily, the user with higher "priority" gets lower security, > because if a lower priority user attempts login and it matches the > higher priority user, it will give one user access to another user's > account... no? Therefore, I want to give higher "priority" to user with lower privileges. For example, I have 2 accounts: one is root, it has privilige == 0, and my user, is has privilige == 2 Btw, If you have any suggestion how to handle situation with 2 accounts with same fingerprint enrolled - you're welcome ;) Regards, Vasily _______________________________________________ fprint mailing list [email protected] http://lists.reactivated.net/mailman/listinfo/fprint
