I modified /etc/pam/common-auth:
<snip>
#fingerprint reader ... somwhat awkward ...
#auth   sufficient      pam_fprint.so
#auth   sufficient      pam_fprint.so
#auth   sufficient      pam_fprint.so
auth    required        pam_unix.so nullok_secure
</snip>

Sometimes fprint would not succeed the firt time so I use it three
times. It works perfectly with sudo on the cmdline and I think gksudo
works as well. They do of course not tell you something like "please
identify via fingerprint reader". They just sit there and you can try to
auth with your finger ...

As you can see above I disabled fprint ... pam lacking the flexibility
to give you the choice of auth via fprint or passwort at the same time
keeps me from using it. It is nice to hafe fprint auth ... but not at
the cost of the way I used to auth.
