Well, this SCREAMS for "plugins" :-) A db storage backend doesn't need root access, it only needs proper auth to connect to the db. A filesystem-based storage backend *could* need root access (think about ACLs, that can even limit root's access or give users more privileges on certain objects). But that's better to left at the distro packager (or root) the ruling. Some storage backends could even require a (possibly remote) daemon to be running...
What I find quite limiting, now, is that there's no way to bypass saving in user's home the enrollement info (w/o modifying libfprint). BYtE, Diego. _______________________________________________ fprint mailing list [email protected] http://lists.reactivated.net/mailman/listinfo/fprint
