After some headaches I just discovered that enabling fingerprint logins using
the thinkfinger pam module doesn't allow users with a fingerprint to login
using ssh. The ssh connection just closes on attempted authentications with no
entry in /var/log/auth.log. Users with no fingerprint can login fine (dirty
workaround). Any ideas if I'm doing something wrong or if this is a bug with
the thinkfinger pam module?
The settings in /etc/pam.d/common-auth
auth sufficient pam_thinkfinger.so
auth required pam_unix.so try_first_pass nullok_secure
Thanks
