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.


Regards,
Michele Caini
