Hi all, I'm a new user of fprint. Thanks a lot for this very useful software, really! :-) I use your software on Gentoo with tuxonice patched kernel (tuxonice-sources) version 2.6.28, into a kde-based system.
I've installed fprint-demo version 0.4, libfprint version 0.0.5 and pam_fprint version 0.2. I cant't use up-to-date version of libfprint because I'm using gcc 4.1.2, and for libfprint since version 0.0.6 gcc version 4.1.3 at least is needed. About pam_fprint, I think configuration proposed on web site (http://www.reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Pam_fprint) is wrong for me and, maybe, for someone. That is, using this configuration: auth required pam_env.so auth sufficient pam_fprint.so auth sufficient pam_unix.so try_first_pass likeauth nullok auth required pam_deny.so I'm not able to login using password because finger check request comes anyway and locks (I don't know why) kdm or shell login, ignoring submitted password in former case and preventing password submission in latter case. A very simple solution exists and consists of using this configuration: auth required pam_env.so auth sufficient pam_unix.so try_first_pass likeauth nullok auth sufficient pam_fprint.so auth required pam_deny.so In that case, it will came first a password request, and if any password will be submitted (that is, return has been pressed) it will come a request for finger check. Finger check, however, freezes system while someone else offers his finger! Wrong password and subsequent wrong finger check works fine and it brings back user to the password prompt. That's all. Your configuration doesn't work for me, I hope my solution can help you and anyone has my same problem.
