I strongly suspect that it still won't work. According to , the 'pam_fprintd.so' module needs to be added to the PAM configuration. So, I guess we also need something along the lines of the following, which is used in 'elogind-service-type' in (gnu services desktop): ;; Extend PAM with pam_fprintd.so. (service-extension pam-root-service-type pam-extension-procedure) Would you be willing to take a look? I think it would be embarrassing to release Guix 1.0 with a documented service that has never been tested. What do you think? Regards, Mark
