<EM>&gt; Since nobody seems to be interested in participating activly, I'll start

<EM>&gt; working on these two points by myself.

</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Has anyone suggestions what such an interface should be able to do

<EM>&gt; (except of the general guidelines for user authentification in the SANE

<P>&lt;possibly overkill&gt;

<P>Only thing that comes to mind is PAM, Pluggable Authentication Modules
<BR>
which is a feature of Solaris, (some) Linux and various other Unix systems
<BR>
<P>You might want to look at it, and see if it has the features you want
<BR>
as isn't too much code for your taste. The minimal PAM APIs
<BR>
(after all users won't be changing their password through XSane)
<BR>
might actually be smaller than implementing /etc/passwd yet again...
<BR>
<P>/me imagines users in a fascist Unix environment forced to prick their
<BR>
thumbs and run blood through pam_biometric_bloodtest before being
<BR>
permitted to scan 100 pages through an ADF :)
<BR>
<P>&lt;/possibly overkill&gt;
