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

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
#service fprintd status
fprintd: unrecognized service
I tried to remove it with rpm -e but it responded
Code:
failed dependencies:
... and when I tried to remove the dependencies because they also were all related to the fingerprint reader they each said failed dependencies. And the last one even though it's listed as a dependency said it is not installed... that was a gdm-plugin....
This is really an annoying problem.
The man page for fprintd says
Quote:
The fprintd daemon is accessed through the D-Bus by those command-line utilities
I guess I'll have to go learn about D-Bus...

When I tried rpm -e I gave it the specific packages to remove, and as I stated it didn't work. However when I tried
Code:
yum remove fprintd
It found 2 packages to remove, and successfully removed them both, and I no longer receive errors in /var/log/messages when using su or sudo.
Problem solved! Thanks
One quick question though... If I would have simply used

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? (2 Replies)
