Enable AuthenTec Fingerprint Reader as PAM modul
Using fprint library
It seems that the fprint packages are now in ubuntu universe repository for interpid and for hardy-backports... http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?lang=de&searchon=names&keywords=fprint
Using Debian packages from Madman2k
(Text copy)
In order to enable fprint authentication on Ubuntu install the libfprint and libpam packages (see attached tar or download from madmans site) and then edit your /etc/pam.d/common-auth so it contains
auth sufficient pam_fprint.so auth required pam_unix.so nullok_secure
To scan a finger with a gui, you can use the demo application by installing fprint_demo package
$ fprint_demo
Only the first scanned finger will be taken for authentification.
Manually installing .deb packages
dpkg -i {package_name}
