Hello all,

fprint works great otherwise, but when I am logged in remotely thru SSH and 
want to become root, PAM asks for a fingerprint scan. I only can fulfill that 
request by going over to the laptop and swipe my finger.

Logging in remotely thru SSH is apparently detected and possible, no finger 
print asked. Obviously logging in as root remotely is disabled, so I must log 
in as user first and then do 'su'.

I am sure this is not so much a bug in fprint as something which has to be 
configured. But how can you configure that 'su' must not use fprint 
authentication when you are connected remotely? How can PAM detect that you 
ssh in instead of using an xterm? And once this is detected, how do you 
exclude fprint authentication? I found ways to include authentication in the 
various /etc/pam.d file, but not how to exclude something. In each 
file 'common-auth' is included, but 'common-auth' contains the line which 
enables pam_fprint.

Thanks
jlinkels
