Please could you follow up with your distro about both of these? Firstly, the imagemagick being shipped in debian is more than 2 years old. Secondly, your distro should handle USB device permissions for you, otherwise there is a whole range of hardware beyond fingerprint readers that will not work -- one example being scanners through SANE. > without it, because running enroll using sudo is not a good idea. Agreed, I've never suggested anyone do this. On Gentoo the process is as follows: for any user you wish to have generic access to USB devices like this, put them in the "usb" group. That's it -- nothing more. Then everything "just works" out of the box. I would think the same is true for other distributions too. > The second note about pam, i have > seen pam configuration for version 0.99 at wiki page, but it doesn't work for > my case, my pam is > v0.79.

If you do succeed, please let me know and I will document it. Or, even better, choose a username for the wiki and I'll give you an account and you can document it yourself. Sorry that I can't be more help here -- I have almost zero experience with PAM, I installed it for the first time approximately 15 minutes before trying to write pam_fprint :) > Small wish: it will be good to have some options to turn on debug messages, > as a good example I can > recommend to look at pam_usb. Fancy writing a patch for this? With so much to do on this young project, these kind of things take low priority for me. Thanks for the feedback!
