Public bug reported:
When authenticating via libpam-thinkfinger the following should happen:
1. User wants to authenticate itself
2. Program (e.g. sudo, gksudo, ..) promts for password or fingerprint
2.1 in case of password authentication the user must say that the password is
complete in the provided place by the program with pressing ok somewhere
3a. If a problem occured back to 1 or to an error message
3b. If everythings fine the authentication is successful.
In Hardy is was nearly like described above. There was not in every case a
error message when the fingerprinter authentication failed but that was
somewhat okay.
Now after using the fingerprinter programs like sudo oder gksudo are
waiting for an action of the user to say "okay, the fingerprint is now
okay". So in case of sudo return has to be pressed. I think the behavior
should be changed again to the hardy state.
