Hello! A new ThinkFinger [1] package has been uploaded to experimental [2]: this package was built with PAM in unstable and since a while it's working with no major problems on my sid. I wrote "major" because there're indeed some problems (links available at [2])...
1) not all the application that perform authentication supports ThinkFinger, the worst being screensavers and gksudo [3] 2) a really annoying problem is the SSH segfault [4]: this is still unsolved and could deserve an RC bug (but I'd go anyway to lenny for wider testing (comments welcome) So, this is call for people who have an UPEK/STMicroelectronics fingerprint reader (0483:2016), usually found either as a standalone USB device, built into USB keyboards or built into laptops (usually From Dell, IBM/Lenovo and Toshiba). Please test the package in experimental and report any (unknown) problem in the BTS. Otherwise, I'll upload the experimental package to unstable after 10 days from this mail (and after lenny to bakcports, too). Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca Footnotes: [1] http://thinkfinger.sourceforge.net [2] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/fingerforce-devel/2007-September/000007.html [3] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=444059 [4] http://news.gmane.org/group/gmane.linux.drivers.thinkfinger/thread=434/force_load=t
