Bug Description

Binary package hint: libpam-thinkfinger

Intrepid has the new pam-auth-update command and /usr/share/pam-configs/ profiles. thinkfinger has been using a script /usr/lib/pam-thinkfinger-enable to install itself in pam. The script should be dropped and pam-auth-update used.

Using the legacy script means you get a cryptic prompt every time pam is updated by the update manager.

Confirmed on Ubuntu Intrepid, after samba updated the pam configuration.

Is that really correct? thinkfinger is only for auth right? So the other ones should be dropped.

The version of /usr/share/pam-configs/thinkfinger I use.

It only specifies an 'auth sufficient pam_thinkfinger.so' line for common-auth.
