You've made lots of progress on the project; exciting stuff when the big distros want to include it by default. So <em>that's</em> how ThinkFinger can ask for either a password or a print. I had wondered. Bit of a kludge, eh? Now my last remaining puzzler for pam_fprint is why GDM can use fprint (or ThinkFinger) for login, but SLiM cannot. Perhaps it's related to the hackery used by ThinkFinger? Maybe that's why ThinkFinger "works" so well. Interesting report!

Seems like people might want to derive project documentation or further work from yours. Why no derivatives? Seems like people might want to derive project documentation or further work from yours.
