Nice. After you've successfully run "enroll" once, fprint_demo should
start working.

You first have to enroll your finger. Currently the only way to do this 
is to use the "enroll" example from the libfprint distribution. Once you 
have done that, fprint_demo and pam_fprint will magically start working.

I don't know what I mean about having to press enter a couple of times, 
I am not a kdm user, I am just paraphrasing what was said on this list 
by another user. I don't know what kind of interface or prompts kdm 
gives you. What I do know is that you will have to configure PAM to use 
pam_fprint as detailed on the pam_fprint homepage before this will work.

Great!
