Fprint service?
 

I see a lot of stuff like this in /var/log/messages:

Aug 15 18:35:15 sds-desk dbus-daemon: [system] Activating service
name='net.reactivated.Fprint' (using servicehelper)
Aug 15 18:35:15 sds-desk dbus-daemon: [system] Successfully activated
service 'net.reactivated.Fprint'


Googling indicates this has something to do with a fingerprint reader.
As this system doesn't have one, how can I disable the service?
systemctl doesn't list it, nor does chkconfig.

It is a D-Bus activated service. yum remove fprintd is the simplest
way to disable it

If you go to a program called Authentication , under the Advanced
Options is an option to enable fingerprint reader support. On my machine
this option was chosen by default. Unchoose it and that might help your
problem.

I think Rahul in his response perfectly clarified this things.
Precisely, in two simple sentenses.

I have nothing against Rahul's clarification. However, it seems useful
to know that there is a program supplied by F15 that can handle the
problem of fingerprint reader support.
