Bug Description
When running 'pam-auth-update' (Ubuntu 11.04 32bit on a Lenovo X1) after installing pam-fprint, my computer asks me for my fingerprint AND my password whenever I encounter a 'sudo' task, or whenever my screen locks.
Instead, the default behaviour should be that EITHER a fingerprint OR a password suffice.
I guess it's impossible to have Ubuntu waiting and able to accept either/or simultaneously?
Cheers
JP

The fprint module is still very unstable. It tends to get bad reads that it calls good. With the way pam-auth-update sets it up, the fprint is actually silently failing. I've had this problem for a while, and with the setup of pam it probably will continue to be a problem. i would suggest re-entering the prints. It works every once in a while.
