Passwordless login is not enabled after enrollment

[Milan Knizek]

Binary package hint: libpam-thinkfinger

1) Ubuntu Intrepid Beta, with current updates. Lenovo Thinkpad Z60m.
Reader:
ID 0483:2016 SGS Thomson Microelectronics Fingerprint Reader

2)
libpam-thinkfinger:
  Installed: 0.3+r118-0ubuntu3

3)
After enrollment:
$ sudo /usr/lib/pam-thinkfinger/pam-thinkfinger-enable
$ tf-tool --acquire
$ tf-tool --verify

the user should be allowed to roll his finger without entering password (in GMD, screen saver, etc.)

4)
Nothing happens. The user has to type in the password instead.

Further info:
Since enrollment returned error about unaccessible finger reader, I updated the udev policy:
$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/40-mk_fingerprint.rules
ATTRS{idVendor}=="0483", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2016", \
     MODE="0666"

Then, running tf-tool works as expected:
$ tf-tool --verify
ThinkFinger 0.3 (http://thinkfinger.sourceforge.net/)

Initializing... done.
Please swipe your finger (successful swipes 1/1, failed swipes: 0)... done.
Result: Fingerprint does match.

Also, the pam auth config file is updated (commented lines are deleted here):
$ cat /etc/pam.d/common-auth
auth sufficient pam_thinkfinger.so
auth [success=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so try_first_pass nullok_secure
auth requisite pam_deny.so
auth required pam_permit.so

This worked just fine in Hardy but no longer works now that I've upgraded to Intrepid. Appears to be a duplicate of 256429. Marking.
