Thanks, but did you test that it actually works in practice?
I strongly suspect that it still won't work. According to
<https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fprint>, 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
