4 YaST prompts the user to swipe his finger until three readable fingerprints have
been gathered.
5 After the fingerprint has been acquired successfully, click Accept to close the
Fingerprint Configuration dialog and the dialog for the user.
6 If you also want to use fingerprint authentication for starting YaST or the YaST
modules, you need to register a fingerprint for root, too.
To do so, set the filter in the User and Group Administration dialog to System
Users, select the root entry and register a fingerprint for root as described
above.
7 After you have registered fingerprints for the desired users, click Finish to close
the administration dialog and to save the changes.
As soon as the user's fingerprint has been successfully registered, the user can choose
to authenticate with either fingerprint or password for the actions and applications listed
in
Section 7.1, "Supported Applications and Actions"
Currently, YaST does not offer verification or removal of fingerprints, but you remove
fingerprints by deleting the directory /home/login/.fprint.
