Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I do not know how to run the most recent code as root. Even if I did, I should think that I would not want to run it as root for security reasons. So, that having been said, does anyone know how to either grant root access to just the fingerprinting threads or to give it enough access without granting root to it that it will work under a non-root account?
