Description

---------------------- BEGIN README.MD ---------------------------

This is a fork of the pam module which implements the simultaneous password and fingerprint behaviour present in pam_thinkfinger. It was called a 'gross hack' by the fprintd developers in their README for the PAM module, but it works, and I am not beneath using it.

Compilation uses meson/ninja. Configure with "meson-build . build" and run "meson compile -C build" to compile. To install, move the generated pam_fprintd_grosshack.so to the correct directory on the system. Alternatively, Arch users can install pam-fprint-grosshack from the AUR.

To use this module, add the following lines to the appropriate files in /etc/pam.d/ (i.e. /etc/pam.d/system-auth for any use):

auth sufficient pam_fprintd_grosshack.so auth sufficient pam_unix.so try_first_pass nullok

Warning! The original developers called this implementation a gross hack for a reason. This code may have major security flaws or other unforeseen bugs, so use with caution. And, of course, the standard legalese applies: No warranty, provided as-is, whatever you do or whatever happens to you is not my fault, etc.
