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:
# # /etc/pam.d/common-auth - authentication settings common to all services # # This file is included from other service-specific PAM config files, # and should contain a list of the authentication modules that define # the central authentication scheme for use on the system # (e.g., /etc/shadow, LDAP, Kerberos, etc.). The default is to use the # traditional Unix authentication mechanisms. # # As of pam 1.0.1-6, this file is managed by pam-auth-update by default. # To take advantage of this, it is recommended that you configure any # local modules either before or after the default block, and use # pam-auth-update to manage selection of other modules. See # pam-auth-update(8) for details. # here are the per-package modules (the "Primary" block) auth [success=2 default=ignore] pam_fprintd.so max_tries=1 timeout=10 # debug auth [success=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so nullok_secure try_first_pass # here's the fallback if no module succeeds auth requisite pam_deny.so # prime the stack with a positive return value if there isn't one already; # this avoids us returning an error just because nothing sets a success code # since the modules above will each just jump around auth required pam_permit.so # and here are more per-package modules (the "Additional" block) auth optional pam_ecryptfs.so unwrap auth optional pam_cap.so # end of pam-auth-update config
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
