Description Erinn Looney-Triggs 2011-10-13 18:41:24 UTC

Description of problem:
The sudo fingerprint thing is really slick. I really like it. However, there should be some way to get to just a normal password prompt for sudo. So after enrolling my fingerprint, I am now forced to use my fingerprint every time for sudo regardless of how I logged in (fingerprint or password), the issue is that I dock my system and well the fingerprint reader is in the closed system and I have no desktop equivalent. I have tried ctl-c etc, to no avail. This may well just be a limitation that can't be gotten around or it may be a PAM problem or a sudo issue etc. But I can't select multiple components so there we are.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fprintd-0.2.0-3.fc15.x86_64
pam-1.1.4-4.fc16.x86_64
sudo-1.8.1p2-2.fc16.x86_64

How reproducible:
Enroll you fingerprint, try to get around sudo prompting you for said fingerprint.

Sorry for the noise, after a default timeout it drops you to the password prompt. Closing.
