Hi Andrew! I'm really sorry for the delay.

Can you elaborate more on what you mean by "tf-tool is built without PAM support"? tf-tool has nothing to do with PAM: it's an utility to acquire/verify fingerprints. I guess you ignore the existence of libpam-thinkfinger, the PAM module allowing fingerprint login through ThinkFinger. OTOH, if you're referring to the fact that tf-tool cannot be launched by a non-root user, I already fixed the permission problems for the USB device (SVN r83, bug #469043 [2]) and for the uinput device (SVN r84, bug #469048 [3]). These fixes, together with the move of tf-tool from /usr/sbin to /usr/bin [1], will be present in the next Debian version. If you don't reply to this mail in one week, I'll close the bug.
