(Get the code!)
I think that this is a bug in kdm since thinkfinger provides the pam module. Needs to be fixed ASAP. I do not like Gnome, and have always used KDE.
The initial comment :
"kdm & kdesktop_lock provide a plugin interface that allows supporting (almost?) arbitrary authentication methods. it's pretty obvious that kdm simply can't provide a frontend for every pam module out there; they have to be shipped with the modules themselves. guess how it works on windows."
was incredibly ignorant, and is designed to turn users away from KDE.
What needs fixing here is kdm, not thinkfinger.
