Bug Description
Binary package hint: libpam-fprint
I've been using thinkfinger for many releases, and fprint since Lucid (since Ubuntu chose to no longer support thinkfinger). It was working with Maverick until recently. At present, fprint will be used for login and graphical apps such as update-manager, but when I run sudo from a terminal, I am immediately prompted for a password.
I have checked the behavior with both the standard fprint packages and those from the fprint team PPA, including replacing libpam-fprint with the new libpam-fprintd. The behavior remains consistent. I am prompted for a fingerprint *except* when using sudo.
So, to be clear, I performed all of the steps here https:/
