Bug Description
Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils
User request, it seems a good wishlist item to me...
"It does not seem currently possible to use this solution in combination with a fingerprint reader, since the pam module has to intercept the login password. Is this going to be a possibility in the future?" -- woutersj

Hi Dustin! I have been following your work with the encrypted ~/Private and really appreciate it. I have also been following fingerprint support in Ubuntu. Have you looked at ThinkFinger / pam-bioapi (https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/ThinkFinger)? Unless I misunderstand, this may allow this behavior.
