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.
