Do not. Lsm enforce you to put system wide access control based on user credential (uid, gid). You don't need to replicate username/password mechanism. > i know... my ideal situation is that i would plug a thumbprint scanner > so that my user can launch the program, identify him/herself by scanning > their thumbprint, and process to use the program. Sorry, are you talking about an hardware thumbprint scanner? Maybe root_plug module (inside newer development kernel) may help you. It is based upon LSM and I'll deny some operations when a usb key is not plugged. May be you want to put your needs in a clearer manner :) ciao ciao thesponge - -- $>cd /pub $>more beer (0> //\ Perego Paolo <p_perego@modiano.com> - www.sikurezza.org/angel V_/_ 'Diverso non significa necessariamente peggiore.'
