In order to enroll new finger prints, you must have r/w access to the usb device node(s) of your finger print reader (i.e., /dev/{ugen, usb}*). It is recommended to use devfs.rules(5) and a dedicated group to manage access to your finger print reader. You can use `usbconfig' to see if your sensor is accessible. Example configuration: - /etc/rc.conf: devfs_system_ruleset="localrules" - /etc/devfs.rules: [localrules=10] add path 'usb' mode 0770 group operator add path 'usb/*' mode 0660 group operator # /etc/rc.d/devfs restart
