Thank you winxp_escapee.
I have installed fprint's three modules: libfprint, fprint_demo and pam_fprint. It looks like fprint is using the aes2501 experimental driver.
I did some tests (with fprint_demo) and it seems to be reading my fingerprint correctly. I registered my fingerprint and then tried to set up pam so that it uses the pam_fprint module to authenticate. What I wanted to achieve was, at kde login, to be able to use the fingerprint reader and if that failed, then use normal password login.
I kinda achieved what i was trying to do, at least that was the case at the very beginning. But after a reboot, it does not seem to be able to recognize my fingerprint and when I enter the password it asks again for my fingerprint. I imagine I did something wrong when configuring pam.
This is what I did: changed /etc/pam.d/xdm (because I want to use fprint authentication on kde login only)
from:
Code:
...
auth****import** common-auth
...
to:
Code:
...
#auth****import** common-auth
auth**** required** pam_env.so
auth**** sufficient**pam_fprint.so
auth**** sufficient**pam_unix2.so
...
I did not want to change common-auth directly because it would make the system use pam_fprint in all circumstances.
BTW, this is what common-auth looks like on my system:
Code:
auth**** required** pam_env.so
auth**** required** pam_unix2.so
Any ideas/suggestions?
