[Fingerforce-devel] Bug#949165: libpam-fprintd: Does not allow fingerprint authentication for 'login'

[Asher Gordon]

Package: libpam-fprintd
Version: 0.9.0-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When I login on the console (tty), it asks for a password rather than a
fingerprint. This also happens if I type 'login' (as root)
manually. However, only 'login' seems to be affected so far; 'sudo'
still asks for a fingerprint as well as GDM.

This looks like a bug in libpam-fprintd, but feel free to reassign if
it's actually in a different package.

Here is the contents of /etc/pam.d/common-auth:

As you can see, 'pam_fprintd.so' is listed before 'pam_unix.so'. I tried
disabling and re-enabling fprintd with 'pam-auth-update', but it did not
work.

Note: this bug only appeared when I upgraded to 0.9.0-1. It was not
present in 0.8.1-1+b1.

Thanks,
Asher
