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
