ThinkFinger 0.3 from http://thinkfinger.sourceforge.net/ works for me on
Ubuntu Feisty for gdm, login and sudo, but not for gnome-screensaver or
gksu. If you have problems installing it, the developer mailing list is
very helpful.

hmm, security and a closed_source application won't match imo.
i'm using thinkfinger (the OSS pendant) with login without any problems, 
perhaps this is also possible with ubuntu

&gt; I'm running on Ubuntu Edgy on my T60 and I'm having trouble getting the
&gt; fingerprint reader to work. So far I'm trying with the binary drivers.
&gt; 
&gt; This is what I installed:
&gt; 
&gt; BIOAPI Framework
&gt; <A HREF="http://www.qrivy.net/~michael/temp/bioapi_1.2.3_i386.deb">http://www.qrivy.net/~michael/temp/bioapi_1.2.3_i386.deb</A>
&gt; 
&gt; TFMESS BioAPI BSP for Linux
&gt; <A HREF="http://www.upek.com/support/dl_linux_bsp.asp">http://www.upek.com/support/dl_linux_bsp.asp</A>
&gt; 
&gt; For the above, I compiled the Sample binary and successfully enrolled
&gt; and verified a print:
&gt; 
&gt; # gcc -o Sample main.c -L/usr/local/lib -lbioapi100 -DUNIX
&gt; -DLITTLE_ENDIAN
&gt; # ./Sample
&gt; 
&gt; I then installed a PAM for bioapi:
&gt; <A HREF="http://www.nax.cz/pub/bioapi/pam_bioapi/pam-bioapi_0.3.0.tar.gz">http://www.nax.cz/pub/bioapi/pam_bioapi/pam-bioapi_0.3.0.tar.gz</A>
&gt; 
&gt; This version of uses sqlite so first needed to install some more stuff:
&gt; 
&gt; apt-get install libpam0g-dev
&gt; apt-get install sqlite3
&gt; apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
&gt; 
&gt; Then I set up this pam and sqlite:
&gt; 
&gt; $ cat /etc/pam.d/test-pam_bioapi 
&gt; auth required pam_bioapi.so {5550454b-2054-464d-2f45-535320425350}
&gt; /etc/bioapi/pam/bioshadow.db :0
&gt; 
&gt; % sudo sqlite3 /etc/bioapi/pam/bioshadow.db
&gt; sqlite&gt; CREATE TABLE biodata (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,uid INTEGER,uuid
&gt; TEXT, header BLOB,data BLOB,signature BLOB,type INTEGER,other BLOB);
&gt; 
&gt; But when I try to enroll a user I don't know what to do:
&gt; 
&gt; # test_enroll-pam_bioapi
&gt; 
&gt; ==&gt; called pam_start()
&gt; got: `Success'
&gt; Please enter username: pmatulis
&gt; ==&gt; called pam_chauthtok()
&gt; got: `User not known to the underlying authentication module'
&gt; ==&gt; called pam_end()
&gt; got: `Success'
&gt; 
&gt; Thanks for any pointers!
