[Thinkfinger-devel] [Fwd: Problems with 0.3]

[kelsey hudson]

Hi folks,
I've discovered a couple problems with thinkfinger 0.3 that weren't
previously problems. :)

1). ssh authentication from a remote machine to the machine running
thinkfinger no longer works if pam_thinkfinger.so is in the stack. I've
attached a backtrace (from sshd) to this message. It looks like there's
memory corruption.

2). There appears to be a leak of uinput handles. The following message
is repeated ad nauseam every time someone tries to auth to the machine
(except, the input?? part always increases by one after each subsequent
attempt).

input: Virtual ThinkFinger Keyboard as /dev/input/input16



My system info is as follows:

Lenovo T60: 32 bit x86 SMP, Fedora Core 6 / Linux 2.6.20.4.


Let me know if i can provide any other information.

Thanks in advance,
-Kelsey

This is "OK" (I have reported this behavior to Timo already and he said
so).
