fprintd messages in /var/log/messages

Whenever a user uses su I get the following error messages in /var/log/messages:

Code:

Nov 23 04:24:55 <REMOVED> abrt[26142]: saved core dump of pid 26141 (/usr/libexec/fprintd) to /var/spool/abrt/ccpp-1322018695-26141.new/coredump (753664 bytes)

I have a few physical servers and a few virtual servers all running RHEL 6.1. All of the servers were installed the same way with the same packages, but I'm only receiving these messages on the virtual servers.

I've searched google, and found a few answers, but nothing I have been able to use so far. From what I understand the fprintd daemon is used for a fingerprint reader which I have no use for on my virtual servers.

One solution I read on another site stated

Quote:

fprintd is a daemon that allows the function of libfprint over DBUS. Which is to support fingerprint scanner authentication. I am assuming that your vm does not have a fingerprint scanner so this is probably not a big deal for you. If you want the errors to quit I would remove fprintd unless you plan to use fingerprint scanning

Can someone please tell me how to remove fprintd or some other way to get these messages to stop? Thanks in advance

/var/adm/messages vs /var/log/messages

The /var/adm/messages in Solaris seem to log more system messages/errors compared to /var/log/messages in Linux. I checked the log level in Linux and they seem OK. Is there any other log file that contains the messages or is it just that Linux doesn't log great many things?

strclean

strclean(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       strclean(8)

NAME

       strclean - Removes outdated STREAMS error log files

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/strclean [-d logdir] [-a age]

FLAGS

       Specifies  a  maximum  age  in  days for the STREAMS error log files if this not the default age of 3.  The value of age must be an integer
       greater than or less than 3.  Specifies a directory for the location of the STREAMS error log files to  be  removed  if	this  is  not  the
       default directory /var/adm/streams.

DESCRIPTION

       The  strclean  command cleans the STREAMS error logger directory of log files (error.mm-dd) that contain error messages sent by the STREAMS
       log driver (strlog).  If no other directory is specified (the logdir argument), the command removes error log files in the /var/adm/streams
       directory.  If no other age is specified (the age argument), the command removes error log files that have not been modified in 3 days.

       The strclean command is executed by the cron daemon on a periodic basis.

EXAMPLES

       To remove the day-old error log files from a directory called /tmp/streams, enter: strclean -d /tmp/streams -a 1

FILES

       One or more error log file or files on which strclean operates.	The mm.dd in the filename indicates the month and day of the messages con-
       tained in the file.

RELATED INFORMATION

       Commands: strerr(8), cron(8).

       Interfaces: strlog(7).  delim off
